Buzz Advertiser, Chicoine Insurance Agency, continues to build a name for itself by serving the community, both inside and outside of the office. Jeff and Shannon Chicoine pride themselves on building a business that works in the customer’s best interest.

“We want to make sure people understand that when they come to us, they’re not a number on the board, they’re a customer,” Jeff said.

Since becoming an independent agency in 2021, Chicoine Insurance Agency now offers additional services to help more people with different budgets and liabilities.

“We can say yes! When you come in the door, we can actually try to find the best rate while also trying to get you the best coverage and value,” Jeff said.

Since their grand opening on Nov. 19, 2021, Chicoine Insurance Agency has grown and expanded their business to provide a wider variety of services.

“We have over 50 carriers now, so the options are endless,” Shannon said.

Chicoine Insurance Agency was also excited to bring on a long-term colleague and friend, Terrell Benton, as a licensed representative.

Chicoine Insurance Agency offers a variety of insurance services, including auto, home, farm, business, and life insurance, to meet the various, unique needs of each of their customers.

“Life insurance is our passion because of the people and the whole emotional aspect of it,” Shannon said.

Shannon explained that in addition to life insurance being one of their many services, Chicoine Insurance Agency is also very passionate about informing the public about the importance of life insurance.

“We want to educate people on life insurance. We find out what their budget is, find out what their liabilities are, and see where we can meet in the middle to get them the most protection possible,” Jeff said.

Chicoine Insurance Agency established a strong social media presence to help advertise and inform the community about their services. Shannon explained how she took the reigns on their social media involvement to make sure they were reaching as many individuals as possible.

“If we can put a smile on their face and sometimes educate a little bit on insurance at the same time, that is what’s important to us,” Shannon said.

Chicoine Insurance Agency has already taken great leaps since their grand opening, and Jeff explained how their goal is to only go up from here.

“As far as in the office, we’re hoping as we grow, we’ll be able to hire more people, while also keeping it local,” Jeff said.

In addition to the growth of their business, Chicoine Insurance Agency has demonstrated how they value our community through various events that welcome other local businesses.

Jeff is the current President of the Pleasanton Lions Club and has been a member for over 25 years. His other community club involvement includes: being a director with the Jourdanton Chamber of Commerce, Atascosa County Crime Stoppers, President of the Jourdanton 1909 Association and serving on the City of Jourdanton Planning and Zoning Committee.

Jeff and Shannon Chicoine took a leading role in bringing back the community wide celebration of the Jourdanton 1909 Founders’ Day.

“Everybody has great ideas, but it was just that nobody knew where to start. So, we actually formed that group and said, you know, let’s just make this happen,” Jeff said.

The Jourdanton 1909 Founders’ Day event took place on May 21, and the turnout was beyond what Jeff and Shannon expected.

“It could not have gone better. For our first round out, I just am so proud of it. I’m so proud. Proud of all the community support that came out and were a part of it,” Shannon said.

For Chicoine Insurance Agency, their community involvement does not stop there. Shannon happily announced their next major local event.

“We went to the city council meeting in June and we got approved for Small Business Saturday in November,” Shannon said.

Similar to the Small Business Saturday last November, this event will invite local vendors, food, and entertainment to come together to celebrate small businesses and sell their products.

“We want to see our town grow, and the entire Atascosa community as well,” Jeff said.

Chicoine Insurance Agency is here for the entire community, including the animals. Shannon explained that they are a proud Animal Allies sponsor.

“We take monetary donations, dog beds, cat crates, cat toys, dog toys, and leashes,” Shannon said.

Chicoine Insurance Agency has continued to serve as active members in the community, and they are excited to grow and expand their business to meet the unique needs of every client.
