What Our Clients Say

I have worked with Brian for 20+ years. Not only is he very pleasant and courteous, he is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. Any questions or issues with my insurance that I have ever had, he has never let me down in finding the answer and helping me work through it. I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to a lot of insurance problems. I’m so grateful that Brian is there to help!!

Margaret B.

The CRIG team provided exceptional customer service and support. After experiencing a significant rate increase with my current insurance, I reached out for a quote on home and auto coverage. Rebecca's prompt response provided a new quote that saved me money! She was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, guiding me through the process with ease. Every step was smooth and well-supported, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Highly recommend!

Catawba River insurance group of hickory has been the only place I've ever had insurance. Everyone in the office are very nice and willing to help me. One person in particular I like to talk to is Brittany Craig. Anytime I have any questions I can walk in or call and ask to speak with her and she's always had the answer to my questions and she's always been able to help me make any changes to my policy. I have been pleased with the company and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for insurance.

After my husband passed away, I needed to review my car and home insurance needs. The Catawba River Insurance group was referred to me by a friend, and I could not be more satisfied with my experience . Ethan in the Blowing Rock office provided me with a wealth of information and took a lot of time helping me review policy choices. This is a very knowledgeable, friendly, and dependable group. Highly recommend.
