A story that captures the approach of McKinney Insurance is that of a young family in Biltmore Park who had just purchased their first home. Overwhelmed by online quotes and unsure what coverage they really needed, they turned to McKinney. The team bundled their home and auto insurance for better savings and explained everything clearly. When the family had a minor claim a few months later, they were deeply grateful to have a local advocate on their side instead of a distant call center.

That’s the McKinney difference, neighbors helping neighbors, making sure every client feels protected, supported and at home.

When it comes to insurance, peace of mind comes from knowing you’ve got the right coverage and the right people by your side. At McKinney Insurance, independence is more than a business model, it’s the key to offering clients the best possible choices.

For years, many people associated the agency with Nationwide, but today McKinney Insurance proudly represents more than 50 carriers. That means when a client walks through the door, they’re not limited to one company’s offerings. Instead, they get the advantage of an entire marketplace, paired with the guidance of a trusted local team. “We do the work for our clients,” says president, Chad McKinney. “Our clients don’t need to spend hours comparing rates, we take care of that, so they can focus on what matters most.”

Insurance can feel overwhelming, but McKinney Insurance is built on advocacy. Their team takes the time to ask the right questions, compare policies and explain coverage in plain, easy-to-understand language. That way, clients can make confident decisions without the stress.

And when a claim happens, McKinney doesn’t disappear. “When you work with us, you have someone local to call who will walk with you through the process. It’s about being on the client’s side, every step of the way,” Chad says.

This year, McKinney Insurance was voted the #1 Insurance Agent in Western North Carolina, a recognition that reflects both the strength of their team and the trust of their clients. “With new team members joining, our ability to serve families and businesses across auto, home, business, and life insurance is stronger than ever,” Chad says.

Beyond awards, the agency continues to deepen its ties to the community, taking on new sponsorships and partnerships that allows McKinney Insurance to give back right here in WNC. For McKinney, success isn’t just about policies—it’s about people.
