About Colin
A Neighbor You Can Count On
Lifelong Farragut resident and your local insurance agent on Kingston Pike. I've called this community home for over 40 years, and I opened this agency because I wanted to do something meaningful right here in the place I've always loved.
Before insurance, I spent 20 years in finance leadership managing teams across five states. That experience taught me how to listen, solve problems efficiently, and genuinely put people first, the same principles that drive everything I do for clients today.

Common Questions
Insurance Questions, Answered
Quick answers to questions Farragut and Knoxville families ask most.
How much does car insurance cost in Farragut, TN?
Auto insurance rates in Farragut, TN typically range from $80 to $200 per month depending on driving history, vehicle type, coverage levels, and discounts. As your local insurance agent, I can review your situation and provide a free, personalized quote, most quotes are completed in under 15 minutes.
Should I use a local insurance agent or an online 1-800 company?
A local agent who knows you personally can advocate for your claim, explain your options in plain language, and respond the same day, not route you through a call center. Local agents also understand region-specific risks like East Tennessee storm season, lake watercraft needs, and Knox County property values. With a 1-800 company, you start from scratch every time you call. With me, you have a neighbor in your corner.
How do I choose the right insurance company in Tennessee?
Look beyond just the price. Compare financial strength ratings (A.M. Best, Standard & Poor's), claims satisfaction scores, customer reviews, and, most importantly, whether you have a local agent who knows you personally. The right insurance partner combines a financially strong national carrier with personal, community-based service. As your local agent, I'll help you compare options and find the best fit for your family.
What insurance do I need for a boat on Tennessee lakes?
Tennessee doesn't legally require boat insurance, but most marinas on Fort Loudoun Lake, Tellico Lake, and Watts Bar require liability coverage to dock. Comprehensive boat insurance also protects against theft, weather damage, and on-water accidents. I recommend at least liability coverage and physical damage protection for any boat used on East Tennessee waterways.
Do I need extra coverage for hail damage in East Tennessee?
East Tennessee sees significant storm and hail activity, particularly in spring and summer. Comprehensive homeowners and auto policies typically cover hail damage, but coverage limits and deductibles vary. I recommend a policy review each spring to make sure you're fully protected before storm season hits.
How quickly can I get an insurance quote?
Most insurance quotes can be completed in 10 to 15 minutes by phone or in person. Call or text me at (865) 288-3532, fill out the quote form on this page, or stop by my Farragut office. Quotes are always free with no obligation.
Can I bundle home and auto insurance to save money?
Yes, bundling home and auto insurance is one of the easiest ways to save. Most clients save 10% to 25% by combining policies. I can quote bundled coverage at no cost so you can see exactly how much you'd save before making any decisions.
How can I lower my insurance cost in Farragut, TN?
The biggest savings levers for Farragut families: bundle home and auto (most clients save 10% to 25%), raise your deductible from $500 to $1,000 if you have the savings to cover it, ask about safe-driving and telematics programs if you drive carefully or drive few miles, and keep continuous coverage since even a short lapse is one of the most expensive mistakes in insurance. A free policy review often finds 15% to 25% in savings, call or text me at (865) 288-3532.
Does Tennessee require renters insurance?
Tennessee state law does not require renters insurance, but most landlords and apartment complexes in Knoxville and Farragut do require it as part of the lease. Renters insurance typically costs $15 to $25 per month and protects your belongings from theft, fire, and water damage, plus provides liability coverage.
What's the difference between collision and comprehensive auto coverage?
Collision coverage pays for damage to your vehicle from accidents, hitting another car or object. Comprehensive coverage pays for non-collision damage such as theft, vandalism, hail, fallen trees, or hitting an animal. Most lenders require both if you're financing your vehicle. I'll help you decide what's right for your situation.
How do I file a claim with my Farragut insurance agent?
The fastest way to file a claim is to call or text me directly at (865) 288-3532. I'll walk you through the process step-by-step, get your claim opened immediately, and stay in your corner from start to finish. You don't have to figure it out alone or navigate an automated phone tree, that's what a local agent is for.
Where is Colin Karich's insurance office located?
My office is at 11416 Kingston Pike, Suite C, Farragut, TN 37934. We're in the heart of Farragut, directly across from Fresh Market and Regions Bank, inside the covered breezeway of the shopping center, 3rd suite on the right. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
What areas of Tennessee do you serve?
I serve Farragut, Knoxville, West Knoxville, Maryville, Lenoir City, Oak Ridge, Loudon, Harriman, Kingston, Tellico Village, Hardin Valley, NorthShore, and the surrounding Knox County, Blount County, Loudon County, and Roane County areas of East Tennessee.
How much does homeowners insurance cost in Farragut, TN?
Homeowners insurance in Farragut and Knox County typically ranges from $1,200 to $2,400 per year depending on home value, age, construction, deductible, and coverage levels. East Tennessee homes often need additional coverage considerations for storm and hail risk. I'll quote your specific home for free and explain exactly what each coverage option means before you decide.
How do I compare major insurance carriers in Tennessee?
When comparing carriers, look at four key factors: financial strength ratings (A.M. Best, J.D. Power), claims satisfaction scores, available coverage options and discounts, and customer service reputation. Price matters, but the biggest difference is often the local agent, having someone who knows your situation, advocates for your claim, and picks up the phone when something goes wrong. I can walk you through a side-by-side comparison so you can see exactly how your options stack up for your specific situation.
What is umbrella insurance and do I need it in Tennessee?
An umbrella policy provides extra liability protection beyond the limits on your auto and home insurance, typically $1 million or more in additional coverage. It's especially valuable for Tennessee families with significant assets, teen drivers, swimming pools, boats, or rental property. Many policies cost just $200-$400 per year. I recommend a coverage review to see if an umbrella policy makes sense for your situation.
Can I switch insurance companies in the middle of my policy?
Yes, you can switch insurance anytime, even mid-policy. Most carriers prorate refunds for unused premium when you cancel. I can quote your new coverage at no cost, and if it makes sense to switch, I'll help coordinate the timing so you're never without coverage. Many clients save 15-25% by reviewing their coverage with a local agent.
