Paula Morehouse

Agency Principal/Owner

I have been in the Insurance Industry since 1993 and licensed since 1997.  There began my passion for the Insurance Industry!  My 29 years of experience in the industry, allows me to share my wealth of knowledge and guide clients in basic terms to understand the insurance they are purchasing.   I believe clients appreciate a clear explanation of the insurance, as insurance can be very confusing.   I enjoy taking all the pieces of the puzzle a client may bring to us and solving their problem while making them feel like they understand and that they got a good deal.  Helping people quickly get a quote  and saving them money at the same time has been my passion for the past 29 years.  There is no better feeling than to call a client and tell them you can save them money!  My competitive side ensures my clients piece of mind to know that I will take the time to property shop insurance for them.   In my free time, I am a member of the Cheshire Lions Club and enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, cooking, boating, and playing with my dog Cali.
