Shout out to Luke S for helping us launch our daughter onto her own insurance policy now that she has moved to another state. He provided the quote and contacted her and us, and what seemed would be difficult to do, he made so easy. But then, Fortress has always made insurance easy! Once again, thank you!

These guys are AMAZING! Tim and team have been incredible helpful on multiple occasions, with all of our insurance needs. They have helped us in situations that have come up quick, are super friendly and very responsive to phone calls and emails!

Tim, from Fortress is amazing! He was able to help find us coverage that actually dropped our current rate significantly! Highly recommend letting Fortress navigate you in the right direction! Very easy to work with and they did all the “headache” work!

Tim Hibbing and the Fortress Team are amazing. Tim was my go-to guy for 20 years and was always very responsive, thorough, and professional - not to mention just a great all-around person. If I’d had the option of staying with Tim and Fortress when I moved to a new state recently, it would have been a no brainer. I’m very grateful for the excellent service I received during all those years, and would highly recommend (and have!) Fortress Insurance Services to anyone looking to protect their home, auto, and livelihood. Thanks so much!!

We loved how Tim reviewed all our existing policy to see if we were getting the best deal.
He found a way to save us hundreds of dollars.

Tim Hibbing and the staff at Fortress Insurance Services provide top notch customer service. They always listen to what we may be looking for with insurance and budget, providing guidance where needed, but empowering us to decide. They were also very helpful with explaining the claim process when our claim was approved a new roof. It was our first time filing a claim of that scope, but their knowledge helped us feel confident in the process. They are always looking out for their customers and sharing options that we may not have considered, such as term life insurance. We would recommend Fortress Insurance Services to any who is looking for an insurance agent and great service.

I can always count on Tim and The Fortress to take care of my homeowners insurance for my personal home and my rental properties. They are always quick to respond and answer all of my questions. I have full confidence when I refer them clients through my real estate business as well. Great team to work with!

The team at Fortress have been helping manage our risk for over ten years. Not only have they never let us down, they continue to go above and beyond in their coverage, prices, and most importantly customer service. They are to our businesses what we strive to be to our clients!

I've worked with Fortress for about 5 years now. I know I need to explore them a bit more but they have been wonderful to work with so far. Any time I want to talk about my plan or have question I just send them an email and always get a fairly quick response. I would definitely recommend Tim and his team to anyone that asks. oh and when I first joined the Fortress team they sent us a care package as well.

Tim Hibbing is always responsive and is genuinely aware of us as customers-not as just another account.

Theresa at NWML and Mike McVicker are great for life insurance needs as well. This is a great company to work with!

I originally started a commercial professional liability insurance plan through this company. Tim H was the one that was taken care of my case. Another Pilot Car in my family both were canceled because this was not set up properly. Tim said sorry was on vacation and let this fall through the cracks. I told them cancel the policy. This could be detrimental to my job to be without the insurance, it was a total lack of professionalism. I went with another company. They continue to email me and even to today 4 months later acting like I never canceled the insurance plan though I have proof by email. Now they’re billing me for a year of insurance that I don’t even have. And got canceled from because they did not set it up properly and I received a letter from the company saying you’re canceled due to nonpayment. They never set it up properly. I called. I said you’re not taking withdrawals from my account Tim never called me back. Until I got the letter from one of the companies they purchased the insurance from saying I was canceled. I asked for this to be canceled last September 2024 and they just keep on like I still have insurance with them and like they don’t read their emails. I asked Steve to get involved and yet I’m still getting emails. I have dealt with commercial insurance for years. My sister was going with this company because it is local for her, and never had a problem with any other commercial insurance ever. This company made a mistake and they want me to pay in full for a policy that they are not ensuring me for that supposed to go through July 2025 but I’m not insured

Tim and his staff are fantastic, they are super friendly, easy to work with, and they always do fantastic and quick job of taking care of any insurance needs I have.

Available, helpful, and easy to understand and work with, especially as I’m a young adult navigating my finances and not knowing much haha. They helped me find car insurance and renter’s insurance I’m really happy with, and have been there for me with questions or problems as they’ve come up. They also remember things about me outside of just my insurance info, and express incredible customer service and follow through in that way. I highly recommend and trust them with all my insurance needs.

There was a major issues with repair work on my car. The team at Fortress kept on top of the repair company to get it fixed. Can't explain how grateful I am that they resolved the issue. Definitely recommend Fortress to friends and family.

Our insurance company cancelled our insurance coverage on a rental house we have. Tim worked very hard to find us another good company that wasn't too much more expensive before the deadline.

We are new clients with Fortress, but so far it has been a very positive experience. We have been working with Ben. He has been very helpful in answering all our questions and getting back to us in a very timely manner - which is very important to us. I have told my kids if it's time to look for new insurance to check out Fortress.

Always Very prompt, insightful, and pleasant communication! Goes out of their way to answer questions and explain the details of my policies. Also love that they go out of their way to evaluate my policy each year to make sure I am getting the best coverage for the price. Couldn’t recommend Fortress Insurance more highly for all types of coverage.

Always helpful and quick to respond. As a business owner the fact I don’t have to question those who support my business is paramount to its success and efficiency.

I don't like insurance. Never have. But I like these guys! They kept their rates low and didn't bother me until I needed them. And when I did, they were there and took care of me. Simply the best!

The team at Fortress is so helpful. Always willing to help us find the best rates for our coverage, recommending changes as needed and helpful when we have a claim. Knowledgeable about what is going on in the industry and how to respond to changes. Responsive to emails and phone calls, which is great because we don't live near the office!

I have worked with Tim Hibbings for 10 years and always received excellent service. He doesn't just sell insurance he seeks to educate his clients to make informed decisions.

We have been customers of Fortress for over 15 years. Never had any issues with them. We have been through many changes in our insurance needs and they have always worked hard to get us what we need. We even opened a business and they have handled all of our needs associated with it. This group is AWESOME!!

I appreciate Fortress' approach of annually looking out for our needs. Every year they give us guidance. They don't just 'set it and forget it' they reliably review it all in great detail every year to be sure we are well taken care of for the right price.

We've found Fortress Insurance Services to be an excellent source for our insurance needs! They are consistently looking out for our best interest -- the right coverage for the right price. Thanks again to the team at Fortress! :)

I've stopped back to add to my original review from a couple years back...

In the last few years, we've referred several family members and friends to Fortress and ALL have had a positive experience!!

I recommend you give fortress a try, you'll be glad you did. I know I'm glad I gave them a try!

Have always had a good experience. Tim and his office always jump right on changes, let us know how to save money, and processed our claim quickly.

Always Great service! That's why I've stayed with them for 18 yrs.
Very knowledgeable and accommodating with all my questions. After I get off the call I always feel at ease! Thanks Tim and crew!

At first, he just got me a good deal on my auto insurance. But over time, he’s become a valuable part of my financial team as I’ve continued building wealth.

When my first insurance company tried to double my premium after a year, Tim didn’t miss a beat. He helped me find another provider—even cheaper than the first one originally was charging. Later on, when I called him to add renters insurance, not only did he bundle it in with my policy, but he actually saved me $13 a month and gave me even more coverage.

Tim is kind, thorough, and he truly understands how important it is to protect what you’ve worked hard for. I trust him—and I’m so thankful I didn’t have to navigate all this alone.

You have access to that same support right now. If you don’t have an insurance agent you trust, start here.

Tim at Fortress Insurance Services went above and beyond to help me and my husband secure homeowners insurance for our first home. We couldn't be happier with the customer service and commitment to help us get the best deal and coverage. Thank you!

I've received the best customer care at Fortress Wealth Management. Tim responds quickly to my emails and even checked in to ensure I was alright after a claim went through about an accident. I feel like my family and I really matter to them.

I have been going through Financial Peace University and realized I was paying too much for home and auto insurance. Tim from Fortress Wealth Management was very helpful in helping me find the best coverage. The entire team is always willing to help answer my questions.
