In 1958, James Stickney, III founded Insurance Service of Asheville (ISA) out of the basement of the Battery Park Hotel. The agency, built on James’ clear vision and strong ideals of excellence in customer Service, grew one customer at a time with the promise to always be there for his customers, when he was needed. Now, under the leadership of President James (Jim) Stickney IV, and CEO Kristi Shrum, ISA has grown to become the premier full-service independent insurance agency in the Western North Carolinas, providing commercial, personal, and benefits insurance to some of the most respected members of the Asheville community.
As of January 1st, 2023, Insurance Service of Asheville will be joining the Legacy Risk Solutions family. Bob Norton, founder, and CEO of Legacy Risk Solutions says,
“We are thrilled to welcome ISA into our family of agencies. Their commitment to clients and staff aligns with our philosophy of building a strong foundation for the future through a team approach. As we have grown, we have looked for outstanding people to join us in our mission to build on the legacy of our past and to forge a new future with individuals committed to excellence. With offices in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Mississippi, we can continue to grow regionally to provide better, more consistent, and competitive service to our customers.”
Please join us in welcoming the ISA team to our family!
