Got an Idea?
It's easy to implement new ideas when you don't have to answer to corporate!
just one of the reasons I love this career!

One of the coolest aspects of being a locally owned and independent insurance agency is that we can run with ideas! If we think of a new way of adding value for our clients, we just do it.
Couple that with the fact that we are a group of talented people, our ideas are sometimes big.Take for instance our Springer University Online Insurance Lessons. That was an idea that Chris and I had a couple of years ago on how we can better educate our current and future clients. We write, film and edit each one right in our Midlothian studio. Chris uses his years of showmanship and I use my tech nerd skills, photography skills and coding skills to make the final product pop.
Along those lines, we are able to advertise wherever we want too. Ever since my mom Reta started the agency over 30 years ago, I always had a wish to see our commercials on TV. Unfortunately, there were too many hurdles in our way, mainly the cost. But now, because we can do literally everything in or own studio, the production costs are near zero. And thanks to YouTube TV, we can run a short TV ad in Chesterfield County for only $16!
When I started here 25 years ago, I would have never imagined that we would have over 100 professional insurance instructional videos available, not to mention a real commercial on TV!
That is just one of the reasons I love this career! Got an idea? Let’s do it!
Nick Springer, current President and CEO of Springer Insurance, joined the agency in 2000. From CSR to telemarketer, Associate Agent, Vice President and now President, Nick worked every possible job in the agency, including janitor while he was in middle school two nights a week!
After taking over for Reta, who retired in 2018, Nick and his wife Shannon have grown the agency to four locations and recently moved the Home Office to a new office condo, still in Midlothian. Over his many years, Nick has attained the designation of a Certified Authority on Workers Compensation (CAWC) and most recently the coveted Certified Insurance Counseller (CIC) designation.
Nick is now heading up the new Springer Private Client Division geared to High Net Worth clients.
