I have been with Duffrey-Hoover-Bowden for a little over 13 years. This includes home and auto insurance. The people here are amazing and have always take care of all my questions immediately. The service has a family feel to it.I have been working with Mike the entire time. He has helped me compare rates and helped me personalize my insurance for my family. I have been able to call him direct with any issues.Thanks DHB and Mike, we always appreciate your amazing commitment to your customers and for giving me a good laugh as well.

For over 15 years, I relied on Durfey-Hoover-Bowden for all of my insurance needs. At one point we had 3 rental properties, 2 homes and 3 cars on our policy.
Unfortunately, Travelers Insurance increased my rates mid-term with no explanation or notice. The first I learned of the rate change was after they sent me a bill for the rate change and a late service charge. When I contacted the agency they offered a vague explanation and insisted that Travelers sent a prior invoice. Instead of trying to understand why I would be upset they chose to go into great detail as to why I was wrong.

Mandi Baldwin has been great to work with. Super responsive and flexible as I have had to change over multiple vehicles and added my homeowners policy. They work with Erie and one of the best companies to save us money based on our family size and needs. Would recommend Durfey-Hoover-Bowden to any of my NC connections. Great work!

Mike Bowden and Julie Hamaker have been taking care of my business and personal insurance needs for many years and I couldn’t be happier. I continue to have a great experience with every situation and question or concern that may arise. Between them, they have many attributes: a solid character, strong work ethic, extensive knowledge in the insurance field, excellent communication skills, personable, high level of integrity, and always professional. As a business owner, insurance is a large and important part, and I wouldn’t want anyone else handling my insurance needs. They always go above

We have used DHBI for a number of years for some of our business policies. Recently we had to add some additional coverages in fairly short order. Patty was incredible. Not only did she get something in place within a couple of days, but was so knowledgeable in the process. She suggested some things that I would never have even known to ask about. So impressed.
