Jennifer Peeples

Agency Owner at The Peeples Insurance Agency 

While studying marketing at UCF, a friend recommended that Jennifer Peeples try Northwestern Mutual’s Insurance College Agent training program. “I loved it, and I’ve been in insurance ever since,” she explains. After college, Jennifer got licensed in 46 states and traveled extensively to handle employee benefits for Fortune 100 companies and government municipalities. Then she joined Progressive Insurance and trained over 10,000 agents in less than a decade.

After 4 years with a smaller Florida company, Jennifer launched her own company in 2014. The Peeples Insurance Agency now insures over 4,000 local families and employs 13 people and has two offices—one in Sarasota (8270 Bee Ridge) and one in Bradenton (1808 Cortez Road West).

They handle residential and commercial insurance, along with flood, auto, boat, motorcycle, RV, jewelry, pet, and even equine insurance. What don’t they do? Automated voicemails. “There’s no press one for this, press two for that,” Jennifer promises. “A real person answers the phone every single time.” 

One of the biggest challenges the Florida insurance industry faces is fraud—shady roofing companies tempt homeowners with a free roof, then they stick it to insurance companies by falsely blaming past hurricanes. That’s what’s driven up the cost of reinsurance by over 30% in recent years.

There’s good news, though. Jennifer’s team shops hundreds of companies to locate the best price from reputable, A-rated, financially responsible companies. “It’s all about taking care of the client and finding them the right coverages at the best price they can afford.”  

Jennifer and her family love being part of this community. “I’ve grown up in Florida, have lived all over the state, but Sarasota is my forever home.” And she promises that The Peeples Insurance Agency is ready to take care of your insurance needs and protect your forever home, too.
