The Sellman Difference

Three things that haven’t changed since this office opened in 1947.

1

Locally owned, right on the square.

We are a locally owned small business working out of 38 Monument Square, not a branch of something headquartered elsewhere. We know your school district, your roads, and your hail season, because we live here too.

2

Over 20 carriers, one phone call.

As an independent agency, we shop your rate across more than twenty carriers, including Nationwide, Progressive, Safeco, Pekin, Hagerty, The Hartford, and Liberty Mutual. Captives can only sell you one company. We compare all of them.

3

A real person answers.

Call (937) 653-1360 Monday through Friday, 9 to 4:30, and you’ll talk to someone who lives here — not a call center. When you have a claim, you won’t be starting from scratch.

Meet the Team

Our agents live and work across Champaign, Clark and Logan counties. When you call, you’ll recognize the voice.
