A little history of our 30 year old history: Gilmartin Insurance Agency was founded in 1995 in Fairport, NY, when owner Edward Gilmartin moved his family from Scranton, PA, to the Rochester suburb and started an insurance agency from his home. In 1997, Edward sold the agency and returned to his hometown of Scranton, PA, where he established Gilmartin Insurance Agency at 1440 N. Washington Avenue in the Green Ridge section of the city—a location that remains its headquarters today.
In 2005, Edward purchased the building and undertook major renovations to enhance its structure and design. Their efforts were recognized in 2006 when the building received the Architectural Heritage Good Neighbor Award for its improvements.
Gilmartin Insurance Agency has grown to serve over 10,000 policyholders. Agency owner Edward Gilmartin is a recipient of the prestigious Quality Agency Award from Erie Insurance Group, the highest honor awarded annually by Erie Insurance.
In 2016, Edward acquired Donovan Insurance Agency, Inc., located in Pittston, PA, now known as Donovan Gilmartin Insurance. The following year, he expanded further by acquiring R.G. Balliet & Son Insurance, Inc. in Lehighton, PA, now called Balliet Gilmartin Insurance. Our most recent expansion included J.W. Hoban & Associates of Wilkes-Barre, PA.
Today, Gilmartin Insurance Agency spans three counties and represents over 30 insurance providers. In an ever-changing insurance landscape, companies evaluate various factors when determining their best rates. At Gilmartin Insurance, we carefully compare policies from all our partner companies to find the best coverage at the most competitive price—ensuring you receive maximum protection at the best value.
