Our Story
Founded in 2005, SilverGuard Insurance began with a simple mission: to provide reliable, affordable insurance solutions with unparalleled customer service. What started as a small local agency has grown into a trusted national provider serving thousands of clients across the country.
Our founders, John and Sarah Silverton, recognized a gap in the market for insurance that truly prioritized the customer's needs over corporate profits. They built SilverGuard on three core principles: transparency, integrity, and personalized service.
