With Zeller Insurance, you get Over 275 Years of Combined Experience
Zeller Insurance was established by Bill Zeller in 1972 as a full-service independent insurance agency.

In keeping with Bill’s core philosophy, we continue to adhere to the highest ethical and professional standards in dealing with our clients, prospects, and companies.

As an independent agency, we represent a carefully selected group of financially sound, reputable insurance companies.

Our objective is to maximize both premium value and cost containment for our clients’ benefit and assist in promoting equitable settlement of our clients’ claims.
