Lehman Insurance Agency

What Lehman Insurance Agency does

Lehman Insurance Agency, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned independent insurance agency founded by Keith Lehman in 1968 and currently led by second-generation owner Rodney Lehman as President. Headquartered in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, the firm operates three physical offices across Lancaster County (Ephrata, Mount Joy, New Holland) and employs 24 insurance professionals, with over half carrying 10+ years of tenure and multiple producers holding CISR, CIC, and AAI designations. The agency insures personal, commercial, farm/agribusiness, and church/nonprofit clients primarily within Lancaster County, PA.

The agency's product suite spans personal lines (auto including classic/antique, homeowners, recreational vehicles, umbrella/excess liability) and commercial/specialty lines (business, farm, church). As an independent agency, Lehman represents multiple national insurance carriers via affiliations with Keystone Insurers Group, Trusted Choice, and Insurance Agents & Brokers, enabling it to assemble multi-carrier packages for niche risks such as poultry and dairy farms or pastoral-professional liability for churches. Underlying technology is a standard agency management platform supporting quoting, policy administration, and CRM across carrier partners; there is no proprietary software, app, or public API.

Lehman Insurance earns commission revenue from carriers on policies placed on behalf of clients, with pricing determined through individualized quote requests based on coverage type, deductibles, limits, and carrier selection. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, combining in-person consultations at three offices, phone-based quoting, and a web-based quote request form that promises a 24-hour response. Distribution is regional and concentrated in Lancaster County, with no public marketing channels beyond its own website and organic word-of-mouth referrals. The firm has no external investors, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A or funding activity.

Direct peers

• Houck Group: Central Pennsylvania-based independent insurance agency offering personal, commercial, and specialty lines including farm and agribusiness coverage. Highly comparable to Lehman in size, regional footprint, independent carrier model, and P&C focus serving Pennsylvania's agricultural communities.
• Glatfelter Insurance Group: York, Pennsylvania-based independent insurance agency serving personal, commercial, farm, and church/nonprofit clients across central PA. Directly comparable to Lehman in geography, vertical mix (including specialty farm and church expertise), independent agency model, and customer segmentation, though now operating as part of Acrisure.
• Leavitt Group: National network of independent insurance agencies offering personal, commercial, and specialty coverage through locally owned member agencies. Comparable business model and multi-carrier independent agency structure to Lehman, with shared access to carrier relationships and back-office resources.
• IMA Financial Group: Regional independent insurance brokerage offering commercial, personal, and benefits insurance across multiple states. Comparable to Lehman in independent agency positioning and multi-line P&C expertise, with similar carrier-representation model though operating at larger geographic scale.

Broad incumbents

• Acrisure: One of the largest insurance brokers in the world, built through aggressive acquisition of regional independent agencies including Glatfelter Insurance Group. Represents the consolidation pressure facing Lehman and a potential exit/roll-up pathway for the agency's ownership.
• Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. Global insurance brokerage and risk management services firm offering commercial, personal, and specialty lines across all major industries. Comparable product breadth and customer base to Lehman but operates at massive scale with national and international reach.
• Brown & Brown, Inc. Large national insurance brokerage providing property, casualty, and employee benefits solutions to commercial, public, and individual customers. Comparable independent broker model but at substantially greater scale with national geographic footprint.
• Erie Insurance Group: Regional P&C insurer headquartered in Pennsylvania distributing exclusively through independent agents across the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Overlaps with Lehman's regional Pennsylvania customer base and P&C focus but operates a captive-agent distribution model rather than independent agency model.
• Hilb Group: National insurance brokerage built through acquisition of mid-market independent agencies across the eastern US. Directly comparable as a peer to Lehman and a potential roll-up acquirer given overlapping product mix and focus on small-to-mid-sized commercial accounts.

Others

• Keystone Insurers Group: Pennsylvania-based insurance network providing carrier access, back-office support, and resources to member independent agencies including Lehman. Functions as an infrastructure/enabling partner rather than a competitor, but member agencies of Keystone represent the broader peer set Lehman operates within.
