First State Insurance Advisors

First State Insurance Advisors is an independent insurance agency that compares coverage from more than 25 carriers for businesses and families. Its commercial work covers contractors, auto dealers, trucking, surety bonds and workers' compensation, with personal lines for auto, home and life insurance.

The agency works as an advisor rather than for one insurer, so it can shop the market on a client's behalf. Clients can start a commercial or personal quote through the website, and the agency also handles bill payments, claims and certificate requests. The office is on East Arlington Boulevard in Greenville, North Carolina.
