Our Story: We’re Local — And We Show Up for Our Clients

At Bridges Insurance Agency, our story begins with a clear mission: to bring personalized, client-first service back to the property and casualty insurance industry. After over a decade of experience in insurance and finance, Rick Bridges founded the agency in 2018 to serve Tallahassee and the surrounding communities with expert guidance, honest advice, and a deep commitment to doing what’s right.

Originally operating under the Farmers Insurance brand, Rick quickly earned a reputation for his hands-on approach and strong relationships with clients. But when Farmers exited the Florida market, many policyholders across the state were left scrambling. We didn’t walk away — we stepped up.

Rather than leave our clients without options, Bridges Insurance Agency remained a steady, local Florida presence. We worked quickly to find replacement coverage for every single client, making sure no one was left unprotected. That transition marked a turning point in our agency’s story — one that reinforced our independence and deepened our commitment to being a trusted, long-term partner for our insurance clients.

Today, we operate as a fully independent insurance agency, free to find the best solutions from a wide range of home and auto insurance carriers. Our goal remains the same: to help individuals, families, and businesses find the right coverage at the right price, always with their best interests in mind.
