When you work with First Community Insurance and Annuity Center, you’ll experience the exceptional service and attention to detail that you can only find with an independent insurance agency.

Our agency’s founder, Doug Wheeler, grew up in a small rural town and worked alongside family at the Western Auto Store. Working at that business, he learned to incorporate loyalty, problem-solving, and customer satisfaction into his own business model.

FCIA doesn’t always produce the cheapest premium in terms of price; however, securing adequate insurance coverage is paramount to any individual, family, farmer, or small business owner. We’ve discovered other agencies often provide stripped down policies in an effort to “save” the client money.

We choose to apologize now for the cost of coverage difference instead of apologizing later when your claim is denied because of lack of coverage. Our clients appreciate this candor and truthfulness when it comes to problem-solving. We won’t sugar coat things just to obtain your business. Instead, we go to work to protect your essential assets. As one business owner put it, “The hard stuff they (FCIA) handle immediately, but the impossible might take a few weeks!”

The truth remains, our agency isn’t for everyone. If your objective is to only cover one vehicle or cut costs, our services simply don’t fit. But, if you need an insurance and financial services agency that views the “big picture,” we will fight hard to develop the right coverage at the right price
