The Journey That Shaped Us

Snipes Insurance began in 1952 as a family-run agency in Dunn, founded on a belief in honest service and genuine community support. Over the decades, our commitment to clients helped us grow to four thriving North Carolina offices while staying true to our small-town values. Today, our multi-generational leadership continues that legacy with a focus on clarity, reliability, and tailored coverage. Built on the belief that service starts with people, not transactions.
