Best of SRQ Winners Showcase | October 2024
PURMORT MARTIN INSURANCE AGENCY
BRONZE WINNER | BEST LOCAL INSURANCE AGENCY | 2024
PURMORT BROTHERS INSURANCE AGENCY WAS FOUNDED IN 1957 IN SARASOTA. They were joined by Richard Martin in 1959 and Purmort & Martin was formed. The Agency moved the office to the current location at 2301 Ringling Blvd in 1979 and we continue to operate out of this location. Purmort & Martin Insurance is a locally owned full service Independent Property and Casualty Insurance Agency. We are privileged to have long standing relationships with some of the finest insurance carriers in the industry. Our partner carriers recognize the benefit of working with an Independent Agency and the expertise that we can provide their insurance customers. The fact that Purmort & Martin is a locally owned independent Agency, is our greatest strength. We are not beholden to shareholders, home offices in other states or institutional investors. We answer only to our clients. We are able to always make the client’s best interest our number one priority. As this is the case, we are pleased to be one of the largest and most tenured locally owned independent insurance agencies in our region. As a locally owned agency we are also proud of our involvement in the community. Both current Agency owners, Russ Bobbitt and Larry Bowman grew up and attended school in the Sarasota-Bradenton Area. We are proud to support many community organizations including The Pines of Sarasota, the Boys and Girls Club, the Senior Friendship Center, The Asolo Theater, many youth sports programs, and others.
Thank you, Sarasota for the honor of making us the Best Insurance Agency in SRQ Magazine for the past three years. You all are the reason for our success. We look forward to continuing the relationships that we have established and serving you, our Sarasota friends and neighbors.
We are honored to have been selected by the readers of SRQ Magazine as the Best Insurance Agency in Sarasota. We would like to thank our clients, friends and neighbors for the recognition. Sarasota is a wonderful community and we are pleased to be a part of it.
