DeWitt Insurance Agency

“DeWitt Insurance Agency is proud to have been a part of this county for 65 years,” says DeWayne Ladner, President of DeWitt Insurance. “We are the oldest and largest independent insurer in Effingham and continue to exemplify our founding principles–client satisfaction, personal service and proper coverage at a competitive price.”

Agency History

DeWitt Insurance was founded by Edgar A. DeWitt Sr. in 1956, and in 1978 E. Al DeWitt Jr. and his wife Lenda purchased the agency. The DeWitt’s welcomed DeWayne Ladner to the agency in 1996, which opened up the opportunity in the agency for expanding financial services. Lenda became the new president in 1997 and when she retired in 2002, she passed the torch to DeWayne as the new President and CEO. DeWayne has grown the agency through acquisitions and by adding additional agency locations in Statesboro, Georgia and Diamondhead, Mississippi, as well as co-founding Vision Financial Group with co-partners Scott Bass and Talbert Edenfield.

Customer Service is Key

Today the DeWitt Insurance Agency and Vision Financial Group are there for your insurance and financial service needs. DeWayne says, “We are an insurance and financial center with all the tools and resources you need to help you build a strong safety net utilizing home, auto, life, health insurances and retirement planning.”

At DeWitt, they have computer software and rater systems for their insurance products and services and can generate a quote almost immediately, email you documents, and do business remotely or in person. There is little to no staff turnover, in fact, multiple agents have been there 25 plus years.

As an independent agency they utilize their professional insurance associations to always provide their clients with the most appropriate options available.

Vision Financial Group

Vision Financial Group (www.vision-ga.com) specializes in financial planning, insurance planning, estate planning, and retirement and investment planning.

Affording a comfortable retirement remains the top financial concern for most people. Worrying about it will never achieve anything, but taking action and setting achievable goals will. More than one quarter of households would have immediate trouble paying living expenses if the primary wage earner died. Are your loved ones protected? That’s what life insurance is for and the financial planners at Vision can help you protect those who mean the most to you.

Sixty Five Years

“We have built our agency on the decades-long relationships we’ve fostered with the families of Effingham County and throughout Georgia. Our mission is helping our friends and neighbors protect themselves and, as a result, we have built a strong reputation in our community,” says DeWayne. “We are proud our clients have done business with us for many years and have been our greatest source of referrals which has spread our business throughout the state of Georgia. We look forward to serving our community and beyond for many more years to come.”
