First Choice Insurance Agency, Inc.

First Choice Insurance Agency, Inc. is an independent insurance agency on Wellwood Avenue in Lindenhurst that has served Long Island since opening in June 1987. Because it is independent, the agency works with 20 or more insurance carriers and compares coverage across them instead of offering a single company’s policies. On the commercial side, it writes general liability, commercial property, commercial auto and fleet coverage, commercial umbrella policies, and builder’s risk insurance. Its business clients include self-employed contractors, sole proprietors, partnerships, LLCs, corporations, and home-based businesses. The agency also handles personal lines such as auto, homeowners, flood, and boat insurance, so an owner can keep business and personal coverage with one office. It says more than 70 percent of its business comes from referrals, and staff answer calls during office hours instead of sending them to voicemail. Its service area covers South Shore communities including Babylon, Amityville, Deer Park, Farmingdale, and Massapequa.
