27 Reasons to Work with Murphy Insurance Agency

When it comes to protecting the things that matter most, your family, your home, your business, you want more than just an insurance policy. You want a trusted partner who understands your unique needs, looks out for your best interests, and is there when life does not go as planned. That’s precisely what Murphy Insurance Agency has been doing for more than 88 years.

Rooted in Massachusetts and serving clients across the region, we combine the strength of top-rated insurance carriers with the personal attention of a family-owned business.

Here are 27 reasons why so many individuals, families, and businesses choose Murphy Insurance and why you should, too.

1. Trusted Since 1937
For more than eight decades, we’ve been a steady presence for families and businesses across Massachusetts. Our long history gives clients the confidence that we’ll be here when they need us most.

2. Family-Owned & Independent
As a family-run and independent insurance agency, we value relationships over transactions. This means we work for you, not for a single insurance company.

3. Our Team
Our fantastic team is at the heart of everything we do. From the front desk to our insurance advisors, every member brings a wealth of knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care for our clients. We pride ourselves on being approachable, responsive, and always ready to go the extra mile to help families, individuals, and businesses find the right coverage.

4. Multiple Carrier Options
By representing over 25 top-rated insurers, we can compare options and find the right fit. And because we’ve partnered with leading insurers for decades, we can often negotiate better options. These relationships also help smooth out the claims process.

5. Full Range of Solutions
We can insure just about every part of your life—home, condo, renters, vehicles, business, boat, life, disability, events, and more. Having everything in one place makes managing your coverage easier.

6. Personalized Coverage
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all insurance. Instead, we tailor coverage to match your needs, goals, and budget.

7. Affordable Options
By shopping multiple carriers, we work to find coverage that meets your needs at a price that fits your budget. We never compromise protection for cost.

8. Multi-Policy Discounts
Bundling home, auto, and other coverages can save you money. We help you take advantage of every discount available.

9. Providing Guidance, Not Selling Insurance
We focus on protecting you, not pushing products. Our goal is to give you the information and guidance you need to make the best choice.

10. Long-Term Relationships
We don’t see insurance as a one-time transaction. Instead, we have dedicated account managers to stay with you through life’s changes at work and home, adjusting coverage as your needs evolve. That personal connection makes all the difference when you need quick answers.

11. Responsive Service
Our team is known for being quick to answer calls, emails, and questions. When you need help, you won’t get stuck in endless phone menus.

12. Bilingual Service Options
We strive to serve our diverse community by making communication accessible. Having bilingual staff who speak Portuguese, Spanish, French, and even Romanian helps us connect with more families and businesses. And for languages we don’t speak, we have a translation service on call.

13. Proactive Policy Support
We’ll reach out when it’s time to review your policies, offering you the opportunity to revisit your coverage or explore pricing options. While the decision to make changes is always yours, we’re here to guide you through the process and help you make informed choices—whenever you’re ready.

14. Claims Advocacy
Insurance is really about what happens when you file a claim. We stand by your side with our internal claims team, working directly with carriers to ensure a smooth process.

15. Education & Guidance
We do more than provide policies—we take the time for personal conversations to help you understand what’s covered and why it matters. Along with blogs, checklists, and guides, we empower you to make informed insurance decisions. Our goal is to make insurance less confusing and more empowering.

16. Local Expertise
Living and working in MetroWest and Central MA gives us a unique understanding of the risks homeowners and businesses face. From icy winters to New England storms, we know the challenges firsthand.

17. Easy Access Across MetroWest
With convenient offices and digital tools, connecting with us is simple. Whether you prefer in-person service, our website, email, client portal, mobile app, or the phone, we’ve got you covered.

18. Generational Loyalty
Many of our clients, their families, and their businesses have been with us for decades, passing their trust down through generations. That loyalty speaks to the long-term relationships we’ve built.

19. Community Commitment
We’re proud to support local schools, nonprofits, and civic organizations. Giving back is part of who we are, and it strengthens the communities we serve.

20. Proven Business Support
We specialize in protecting small businesses, larger organizations, and nonprofits. Our knowledgeable team helps you balance risk and cost so your company stays strong.

21. Risk Management Focus
Insurance is just one piece of protecting your assets. We can also help clients identify risks and put strategies in place to prevent losses.

22. Employee Benefits Expertise
Our team can help businesses design competitive benefits packages. Protecting employees helps to attract and retain the best talent.

23. Expertise Across Industries
Whether your business is in construction, hospitality, technology, professional services, or another field, we understand the unique risks that business faces. This knowledge allows us to design policies tailored specifically to your industry.

24. Technology & Convenience
We combine personal service with convenient tools like online requests, digital account access, mobile app support, and electronic document signing to make managing your policies easier and more efficient.

25. Emergency Support
When disaster strikes, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Call our Emergency Claim Hotline at 800-222-8711 and follow the prompts—we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

26. Reputation for Integrity
We have built trust by always putting our clients first, even when it means more complex work on our end. Our reputation in Massachusetts and beyond speaks for itself.

27. Peace of Mind
