Our story
Howard Sizemore started in Wilmington in 1977 as a Nationwide agent, writing home and auto insurance for his neighbors. His son, Brad Sizemore, later took over and leads the company today as Owner and CEO. The next generation of the family works in the business now.
In 2020, under Brad, the company became fully independent so we could shop more than one insurance company for every client. In 2024 we changed our name from Brad Sizemore Insurance to Sizemore Insurance. Same family, same people, same offices. That decision matters most on the coast. When one carrier pulls back from beach property or raises wind rates, we can look at other options for the client.
What makes us different
We compare 100+ carriers
Because we are independent, our advisors can quote the same home, car or business with several insurance companies and show you the difference in price and coverage.
We know the North Carolina coast
Wind deductibles, flood zones, elevation certificates, the Beach Plan and hurricane season binding restrictions are everyday work for us.
