🌀 Hurricane Season Starts June 1!

Let's be honest.... nobody wakes up in the morning thinking, "You know what sounds fun today? Reviewing my flood insurance."

But living in Hampton Roads, we know flooding isn't just something that happens somewhere else. Between heavy rain, high tides, tropical storms, and hurricanes, water has a way of showing up where it's not invited.

One thing that surprises many people is that flood damage typically isn't covered by standard home, renters, or business insurance policies.

The good news? Reviewing your flood coverage is a lot less stressful than discovering you needed it after the water starts rising.

If you've never looked into flood insurance or it's been a while since you reviewed your options then now is a great time to have a conversation before hurricane season gets interesting.

Our local insurance agency can help you -

✅ Personal Flood Insurance
✅ Commercial Flood Insurance
✅ Coverage Reviews

No pressure. No insurance jargon. Just honest answers and a chance to make sure you're protected before the next big storm rolls through Hampton Roads.

I’m hiring! Know someone who may be looking for a rewarding career opportunity?

My very first job was being the “Putt-Putt girl” some of you may remember! I started working at 15 years and 8 months old, and I haven’t stopped since. Looking back, I learned so many valuable life lessons from my first boss, Cyndi Carlson, and many of those lessons have stayed with me throughout my career.

At 23 years old, I ventured into insurance as a single mom just looking for a “job.” Little did I know, it would become my life’s work and a career I truly love.

A career in insurance is so much more than most people expect. It’s an industry where you can build stability, create meaningful relationships, earn a strong income, and make a real impact in your community all while helping people protect what matters most.

We are also not your typical insurance office. We are a boutique insurance agency offering concierge level customer service without fancy, complicated pricing. We are intentional about the clients we accept because relationships matter to us, and we truly believe in serving our community with care, excellence, and integrity.

After nearly 27 years in the insurance industry, I am still growing, learning, and glowing. This career has opened doors I never imagined both personally and professionally, and I would love the opportunity to help someone else discover that for themselves.

Share your story with us below. What was your first job and where are you now? What led you there?

If you’re motivated, people focused, and ready for a new opportunity with growth potential, let’s connect, or kindly share this post with someone who may be interested.

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day 🌸

Did you know? It took countless generations of mothers to make your mother possible. Through strength, resilience, sacrifice, and love, generations of women helped shape the lives we know today.

As Abraham Lincoln once said,

“All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.”

This Mother’s Day, we honor the mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures whose leadership, compassion, and dedication make a difference every single day. Whether working inside the home, outside the home, or balancing both, mothers carry responsibilities that often go unseen while continuing to show up with strength and grace.

To the moms doing the work of many while carrying so much on their shoulders—you are seen, appreciated, and deeply respected. 💖

Thank you for all that you do for your families, workplaces, and communities.

Wishing you a wonderful Mother’s Day from all of us at Farmers Insurance – Carrie Lewis Agency. 💐

Grateful is the word that keeps coming to mind.

We had the opportunity to host Chief Strategy & Risk Officer, John Pham, at our local Farmers Insurance agency, and I’m still reflecting on the impact of that visit. Being around someone who leads with such purpose leaves a positive, lasting impression.

What stood out most was how present he was. John didn’t just come in to observe; he came ready to listen, connect, and share real insights. The ideas he left us with are practical and thoughtful, and we’re excited to put them into action. Our agency recently celebrated our 5-year anniversary, and we look forward to continuing our growth with the support of my amazing team, our Virginia Farmers Insurance District 61 team led by Richard Martin, and now, with John. I am confident he will facilitate positive growth changes that will benefit our company.

John, thank you again for taking the time to visit us. It truly meant a lot. We’re grateful to have you as part of the Farmers leadership team, and it was a pleasure to host you.

Please visit our office at 330 W 22nd St. Ste 103, at Palace Shops & Station in Ghent, and let us show you who we are and how Farmers can provide you with the best coverage at competitive pricing, supported by a responsive local team that genuinely cares about you and your family, coverage needs, and protecting your assets.

Okay let’s talk about what’s on these fingers for a second 💍

This is almost $100K sitting right here… and no, they are not my rings haha. But they are fully insured with me through Farmers Insurance 🙌

A lot of people don’t realize that standard home, renters, and condo policies have special limits on high value items. That means in the event of a loss or even something like mysterious disappearance, you may not be fully covered.

If you own jewelry, furs, musical instruments, fi****ms, or art, it’s worth having a conversation. We can either schedule those items separately or build the right protection into your policy so you know they’re properly covered.

Don’t assume you’re covered. Let’s make sure you actually are 💙

Condo living isn’t “set it and forget it”—especially when it comes to your insurance.

One of the most important (and most overlooked) things you can do as a condo owner is **attend your association meetings** and ask good questions about your master policy.

Why? Because what the HOA covers—and what it *doesn’t*—directly impacts YOU.

🧠 **Knowledge is protection**
Don’t assume you’re fully covered. Ask:

* Is this an “all-in” or “studs-in” policy?
* What are the deductibles?
* Are there any coverage gaps owners are responsible for?

🏢 **It’s NOT just renters insurance**
Condo insurance is often compared to renters insurance—but that’s not accurate. As a condo owner, you have ownership responsibility. In many cases, you’re responsible for everything **from the studs inward**—including walls, flooring, cabinets, and more.

💰 **Gaps can be costly**
If there’s a claim and your coverage doesn’t align with the HOA policy, you could be paying out of pocket.

🛡️ **Most important HO6 coverages to understand:**

* **Dwelling (Interior Coverage):** Protects everything from the studs inward
* **Personal Property:** Covers your belongings like furniture, clothing, and electronics
* **Loss Assessment:** Helps cover your share of a master policy claim or deductible
* **Liability Protection:** Covers injuries or accidents inside your unit
* **Loss of Use:** Pays for temporary living expenses if your condo becomes unlivable

🌊 **We insure all of Hampton Roads—even beachfront!**
Yes, eve

Some clients truly become like family and the Mano family is one of them 💙

It has been such a joy to see their family blossom over the years and to be there to help protect what matters most along the way.

Their daughter, pictured here, was recently involved in a serious car accident. It was a scary situation, but this is where having the right coverage really makes a difference. Farmers stepped in quickly, took care of the claim, and helped make a hard moment a little easier.

Today, they were able to purchase a brand new vehicle with a strong down payment and keep moving forward. They brought it by the office - what a beauty!

Moments like this are exactly why I love what I do. I’m so grateful to be part of your journey, Mano family 💫

Go Big Blue!!! 💙
