Durfee buffinton insurance:

History

Origins:

The Durfee Buffinton Insurance Agency traces its origins through a number of agencies back to 1843. The agency was originally established by James N. Buffinton after the “Great Fall River Fire” when he saw a need for more insurance agencies in the area.

In 1923 the agency was named The James N. Buffinton Company and in 1959, Walter A. Brown Jr. merged it with The Durfee Agency, Inc. to form its current name.

Since the early 1970’s, Durfee Buffinton Insurance Agency has grown in size form 6 employees to 26 full-time employees, and in 1986 Walter A. Brown III took the helm as president of the agency.

Our mission has always been to provide insurance products and services to individuals and businesses that safeguard their assets from financial loss.

We have done this successfully and the agency has doubled in size in the last five years. Currently we have over 6,000 clients who depend on us for their insurance needs. We write over 20 million dollars in premium a year and continue to grow in size and in reputation.

The current principals of the agency are: Walter A. Brown III - President, Douglas Brown - Vice President, and Richard Baressi - Treasurer. These 3 members contribute a combined 105 years of experience.
