Hecht-Stout Insurance Agency aim to Provide professional care and Quality Service.
Hecht-Stout Insurance is one of central Illinois’ oldest independent, locally-owned insurance agencies, providing exceptional insurance services to individuals, families, and businesses since 1956.
Hecht-Stout Insurance Agency has the advantage of making our clients our top priority.
Large national brokers may offer a vast array of products, but you are a number, not a name. Small brokerage firms can provide personal services, but many lack the depth of products and services to handle resilient problems. At Hecht-Stout Insurance, we will customize the best insurance package using the comprehensive range of companies and products along with unmatched service to meet your needs.
Hecht-Stout’s team of brokers comprises seasoned professionals who take a personal interest in meeting your needs. We are backed by the negotiating power and support services of an efficient system that has successfully served clients throughout central Illinois for over six decades.
You can count on us for high-quality services because our professionals have been in the industry long enough to know what matters most to you: good customer service and quality guidance.
