WHY CHOOSE EASTERN INSURING AGENCY?

More Than Insurance. Trusted Advisors. Community Partners. Risk Strategists.

Choosing an insurance agency isn't just about finding a policy—it's about finding a trusted advisor who understands your risks, protects what matters most, and is there when life changes.

At Eastern Insuring Agency, we believe insurance should be personal, proactive, and built around your goals—not sales quotas.

OUR STORY

A Legacy of Trust.
A Future of Innovation.

Eastern Insuring Agency was founded by Chris LaBarge with one mission: To modernize the insurance experience without losing the relationships that make independent insurance agencies valuable.

Since 2017, we've combined modern technology with personalized service, expanding through organic growth and strategic acquisitions—including the Norton Agency in Plattsburgh and the historic LaBarge Agency (est. 1947). Today, we proudly serve thousands of individuals, families, and businesses across New York.
