Our story

Built on experience—and built for this community

Albemarle Insurance Agency was founded in 2023 by Toni Corprew with a simple goal: deliver an insurance experience that feels different—in the best way. With over a decade of experience across both captive and independent agencies, Toni saw how much value clients get when they have an advocate who can explain options clearly and personalize coverage.

In early 2024, Michael Corprew joined the agency as Vice President and Producer. Together, Toni and Michael continue building a local agency where service is proactive, communication is straightforward, and every client feels known.
