About Barrett Insurance Group

Barrett Insurance Group opened its doors in April 2010 as an Independent Insurance Agency. Based in Timonium, in the heart of Baltimore County, we’ve expanded our footprint throughout the past decade servicing all of Maryland, D.C., Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, and North Carolina At the Barrett Insurance Group we are a small enough boutique to give you the personal service you deserve while having the resources of a much larger agency.

Why work with an Independent Insurance Agent?

We work for you, the client – not the insurance company. As an independent insurance agency, we represent multiple companies. When quoting your policies, we are not limited to quoting only one company, we are able to quote several companies in order to find the best fit for your insurance needs.

We are ready to help you get the peace of mind that you deserve.

Prompt professional service. Explained all options clearly and found a quality insurance company at a great price.

Customer since 2022

I don’t usually do things like this, but I just have to say that Mike and the Barrett Group have been able to accomplish whatever I’ve needed, whenever I’ve needed it, and even if I thought it would be impossible. Affordable first-time homeowner’s insurance? Done. Affordable late-in-life-driver’s-license-receiver insurance? Done. Affordable insurance for a fancy new-ish truck? Unbelievable, but they did it. They’re kind, available, and always willing to help. You’ll love working with them.

Always find companies that include what we are looking for in coverage without breaking the bank. Have assisted with finding new companies when repair demands were made from other companies that were not justified by repair person upon inspection. Glad to have agents that are looking out for the home/car owners interests.

Always willing to work with me to get the right insurance for my needs with a price I can afford. You can talk directly to the owner and not get a bunch of run around like in a big corporate office.

John W., customer since 2019

First, service is always prompt and you get exactly what you need. For me there is also a trust factor. I had my mother insured through the Barrett group specifically because I knew I could trust them not to take advantage of her as she aged. When she passed, Matt and the folks at the Barrett group made the needed changes quickly and efficiently.

Customer since 2020

Excellent company. Very hands on to make sure your not missing anything needed. Highly recommend.

Timothy G., customer since 2021

Matthew and his staff have always gone above and beyond in handling issues with my insurance. They have also always taken my phone call and spoken to me personally. I really appreciate that .
