How an independent agency works for you
Edgewater is independent. Our agents represent many insurance carriers rather than one, so the recommendation you get is built around your situation, not a single company's product line. We've served communities throughout Nebraska and Kansas for more than 60 years and have expanded to 15 locations. Our agents are honest, accountable, and prompt, and each of them is dedicated to his or her clients.
