Empowering and Defending You
From the Insurance Industry
Making buyers feel more in control by educating them throughout every process
Our Purpose
We exist to empower and defend the buyer from the insurance industry
Our History
After a career as a Property & Casualty and Workers’ Compensation Insurance Broker, Stewart Hargrove, President of Insurance Advocacy Group, started his company in 2002 and was determined to help buyers with their property & casualty insurance negotiations. When the insurance buyer is relieved of the burden of becoming an insurance expert, it’s a financial game changer with IAG on their team.
Stewart believed then, as he does now, that disenfranchised insurance buyers needed an advocate, liberating them from the insurance industry. His approach is to make buyers feel more in control by educating them throughout the process. He created a team of expert advocates who provide practical information and deliver results.
At IAG, we're proud of the financial, claims and coverage results we’ve managed for our customers. Our philosophy is simple: when all interested parties (Buyer, Agent/Broker, and Underwriter/Carrier) can work together on the same level of knowledge, everyone wins. Our job is to question the status quo and to manage insurance with a deeper understanding of the detailed workings of the industry and how those details might influence your cost, coverage and claims. We’re well informed and use our insurance experience to level the communication playing field to drive results.
