Our History
In 1962, John Cooper opened his first agency in Greenville, SC with Nationwide Insurance Company. While with Nationwide, the agency won numerous awards for its quality of operation. Mr. Cooper’s daughter Betty Stansell took over in 1979 and continued the agency's legacy of premium customer service and attention to detail. After working in the agency for 15 years, Betty's son Danny Stansell stepped into the owner and principal agent role in 2013. Over the next few years, Danny began transitioning the agency to an independent model.
Our values and work ethic have helped our team stand the test of time. By choosing the Stansell Agency, you’re picking a qualified group of licensed agents, the best policies on the market, and unmatched customer service.
As an Independent Insurance Agency we do not work for the insurance company; we work for you. We work on your side when you have a loss, and always follow through to see that you get fair, and prompt service. We represent a carefully selected group of sound, reputable insurance companies, and we place your policy with the company offering the best coverage at the best possible price.

One-size-fits-all doesn't apply when it comes to insurance, which is why every client gets our undivided attention. We take a proactive approach when helping you develop a strategy to address all your insurance needs.
We recognize that everyone encounters challenges along the way and strive to anticipate those situations as they occur. Our only goal is to keep you and your loved ones protected with the policies you need.
