He also wanted to open the first, "all friendly staff" agency in the insurance industry. He was very focused on finding the right agents/customer service representatives to meet each customer's need no matter how difficult the situation might be. He challenges anyone to find friendlier people with only one focus in mind and that focus being to help people find the best insurance for the money. He makes one promise and one promise only and it is that each time you call 1st Alliance Insurance, you will find the staff ready and willing to help you in every way possible even if that means referring you to someone else that could meet your needs better.

  • Agent Paul Johnson is the best. He was quick to respond, knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely helpful. We are very pleased with the rates too!

  • Great customer service
    - Audrey Lewis. 6/2/2020
  • My previous insurance had gone up again and was extremely high. So I got a referral to 1st Alliance from a family member. We took a few minutes to go over my previous policy and got a quote back fairly quickly. I went with this quote that was close to the coverage I had before. My insurance cost is now half of what I was paying before.

  • Zach Crawford helped me save a ton of money on my auto. Close to $80 a month! Very professional and responsive. Couldn’t be happier with my new policy and the customer service that Zach provided. Highly recommend giving them a call and asking for Zach.
    - Jordan Mayberry. 5/17/2020
  • We have been with 1st Alliance for years .. mostly homeowners but also auto .. on and off. Claims and questions were Always handled with no worries for us. We are now retired and on a fixed income and Recently Paul looked over our account and saved us almost $2000 a year by bundling our homeowners and car insurance.... we thot the companies On tv advertised the great rates .. wrong. They won’t look over your account til you do it. Being an independent agent Paul will help u find the best rates. I bet he will save you money too ! Can’t believe how many years we overpaid our car insurance. Give them a chance. They are amazing!! Cathy n Mike H.
    - Cathy Heidenreich. 5/16/2020
  • By far one of the best experiences we have had with homeowners and auto insurance! Lowered my homeowners by more than $300! Everything was done online and was super convenient!
    - Amy Dandridge. 5/16/2020
  • Marie at 1st Alliance shopped for my homeowner's insurance with my first home. She even worked with me to get it a little cheaper and tailor it to fit my needs and monthly mortgage payment. I am thankful for a local agent rather than staying on hold with the insurance company and never talking to the same person.
    - Jerra Scott. 6/8/2019
  • Marie with 1st Alliance has always been very helpful regarding our car insurance needs. Very professional, knowledgeable, and great at answering questions. Highly recommend!

    - Melissa Cook. 5/13/2019
  • Marie is the best! So helpful!
    - Krystle McDaniel. 5/5/2019
  • Marie has been nothing short of amazing over the years. I have two cars and my house insured through 1st Alliance and she has saved me money every year without me even asking. At my previous insurer I watched each year as my cost went gradually up but I have been pleasantly surprised that each year my bill goes down. When I first signed up with Marie she sat with me for an hour and went over each item in my policy that I did or didn’t need instead of just selling me one package at a high price. I am incredibly happy to have her and 1st alliance as my place of insurance and I have no plans of leaving.
    - Zack Wolfe. 4/31/2019
  • Fast and friendly service that goes way above and beyond
    - Tracy Kendrick. 4/31/2019

  • What a huge blessing Paul and Christy have been! They helped me save so much money for the same coverage as I currently have! I couldn’t be happier with their customer service! You won’t meet two nicer, more helpful people! My checking account thanks you too!
    - Judi Stewart. 4/24/2019
  • A+ from us, the insurance agent Marie was super sweet and made the insurance process easy as pie!
    - Tina Wilbanks. 4/20/2019
  • I have had my insurance with Marie Caruth for as long as I can remember. She has always been able to keep my rates low and explain things where I can understand. I am one to shop insurances on a yearly basis but somehow Marie always keeps me in the best hands. I have recommended her to many of my friends over the years and couldn't ask for anything more. I had to make a claim about 5 years ago on my home and aside from the damage to my home, the claim process was amazing. The adjusters were out, did the estimates and the work was being done with almost none of my time being spent on it. This is when I realized I truly was with a place that knows their stuff. I have heard several horror stories from people that have to wait weeks for adjusters and the estimates that barely cover the work needed to bee done. That isn't the case here. A+
    - Jason Cooper. 4/16/2019
