Trident Insurance Agency

What Trident Insurance Agency does

Trident Insurance Agency, legally HomeServices Insurance, Inc. d/b/a Trident Insurance Agency, is an independent insurance agency headquartered in Cherry Hill, New Jersey (535 Route 38 East, Suite 400), with an additional office in Berwyn, Pennsylvania. The company serves individuals, families, and small businesses across the East Coast and Southeast United States, offering eleven core insurance lines: auto, home, umbrella, life, flood, boating, motorcycle, RV, classic car, renters, and commercial insurance. Life insurance is delivered through a partnership with DergaIis Associates, which provides access to roughly 100 A+ rated carriers and a range of term and permanent products. Trident operates as part of the HomeServices Insurance (HSI) network, a wholly owned subsidiary of HomeServices of America, Inc., which is an affiliate of Berkshire Hathaway. HSI was originally built to serve the insurance needs of new homeowners emerging from HomeServices' residential real estate brokerage transactions.

The business model is a commission-based independent agency structure. Trident represents multiple national and regional insurance carriers rather than underwriting its own policies, allowing agents to compare coverage and price across carriers to match customer risk profiles. Revenue is generated through carrier commissions on policies placed and serviced, with pricing conducted on a quote-by-quote basis and billed monthly. The go-to-market is sales-led, executed by licensed insurance agents who consult on risk exposures, educate customers on options, and provide ongoing servicing through life-stage transitions. Distribution occurs through direct agent contact (phone, email, in-person) supported by an inbound digital layer — SEO-optimized coverage pages, an active educational blog, disaster preparedness resources, and online quote request forms. Marketing channels center on content marketing, organic search, and direct agent engagement, with no app, no proprietary technology platform, and no disclosed AI capabilities. Trident's stated scale positioning is that of one of the largest personal lines insurance agencies in the country, operating within the broader HomeServices Insurance network that spans offices throughout the United States.

• HUB International: Large North American insurance brokerage placing personal and commercial lines through independent-agent offices across the U.S. Direct-line comparable on brokerage economics, though broader scale and more national footprint than Trident.
• Lockton Companies: World's largest independent insurance brokerage, distributing commercial and personal lines through agent offices. Major independent-brokerage comparable for revenue mix and distribution economics.
• Acrisure: Large, PE-backed insurance brokerage aggregator operating across personal and commercial lines. Demonstrates the roll-up and platform-investor thesis applicable to mid-sized independent agencies like Trident.
