“I can’t emphasize enough the value of that real person you can put on speed dial if you need them and get timely, accurate information and great insurance rate quotes. That’s Stephanie Blankenship at Brown Insurance: always going the extra mile for her clients!”
Mary W.
“I own a couple businesses here in Blacksburg and obtaining and switching our business liability and employees insurance was super simple. Jeff asked a lot of smart questions to help me make sure I was covered for all potential situations while still keeping me within my budget. I look forward to working with Brown Insurance on my personal policies as well.”
Cody T.
“Not only were we super satisfied with the reduction in our cost with Brown Insurance, we are now using our agent for our homes. I referred Stephanie to many of my friends with new drivers and they all switched! I could not say enough about her. She is patient, honest, thorough, and very responsive.”

Comprehensive Insurance Solutions For Your Needs
Brown Insurance offers a variety of personal insurance and business insurance solutions to help you protect what matters most.
Providing for Your Family
Risk Factor
Raising a child can be a rewarding life experience, but it is also very expensive. It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to raise a child to age 18, with college tuition, fees, room, and board resulting in another potentially enormous expense. If you were to die tomorrow, would funds be available to provide for food, clothing, day care, and educational expenses for your child?
Solution
Having life insurance could secure the future for your children if you have an untimely death. With a life insurance policy, there could be enough income to help pay for everything your child might need while growing up.
Mortgage Payments
Risk Factor
After your death, any outstanding debt and financial obligations do not disappear. Your home is probably the costliest and most significant property you own. A mortgage payment is a large burden for a spouse or partner to carry.
Solution
A life insurance policy would allow your spouse or children to pay off your outstanding debts and spare them the stress of making monthly payments on the home.
Auto Payments
Risk Factor
Many families lease or finance their automobiles these days. If the primary earner in the family were to die, the family could be left with outstanding car payments for years to come.
Solution
A life insurance policy would allow your spouse or children to pay off your outstanding debts and spare them the stress of making monthly payments on your car(s).
Funeral Costs
Risk Factor
An average funeral can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and that's without unnecessary options or luxurious services. A death in the family is stressful enough; why add the hefty bill of a funeral to that stress?
Solution
A life insurance policy can easily cover the cost of a funeral. Your family will be able to think of you and have peace of mind without being burdened by funeral costs.
Protecting Your Retirement Savings
Risk Factor
Once you retire, you will be living off social security, and if you are lucky to have them, a pension or retirement fund, too. But what if the surviving spouse has been relying on you to fund retirement for the couple? Premature death of an earner can affect sources of retirement benefits such as Social Security.
Solution
Life insurance can help support a surviving spouse during their retirement.
Protecting Your Small Business
Risk Factor
If you passed away, would your business suffer? There are many complications and financial issues that can arise due to the death of a business owner. Many people overlook this predicament.
Solution
A life insurance policy can keep a business moving along even during tough times, such as the loss of the business owner/partner. Key person life insurance is payable to the company and provides money for training and hiring of a new employee. A buy-sell agreement, funded by life insurance, allows the other partners in the business to buy the deceased’s share of the business, which will provide money for his or her family.
Spousal Support / Income Replacement
Risk Factor
Many people mistakenly think that they don’t need life insurance if they don’t have children or if their children are grown. However, your financial responsibilities fall to your family when you are gone.
Solution
Life insurance can replace the income you would usually bring in and help support your spouse or adult children, ensuring your loved ones are able to maintain the lifestyle they're accustomed to.
