Our sales were great in the first quarter. Our business plan growth target is 8% for 2018 but so far we are growing premiums by 15% year to date. Sales of new commercial lines accounts and new First Class Portfolio personal lines accounts have been brisk and far exceed our planned sales expectations. Thank you for your business!

We are now active in Oregon as our 20th active State. I want to extend a big welcome to our new Agencies in Oregon. By mid year we should also be active in Washington as our 21ST active State.

We have a good start to begin the year. Always know we appreciate your business and your confidence in us. The MFM Mission: We serve our Agents first to serve Policyholders best!

Have a great spring! Best Regards!

It is tough to complain about our stormy summer season at the same time that a Cat 4 Hurricane is set to hit the Florida coast. Matthew reinforces our strategy to not write business in hurricane exposed coastal regions. That said, Midwest storms can be less than kind as well.
