Independent, family-run, and serving Northeast Ohio since 1996.
James Gesler founded the agency in 1996 with a simple idea: people deserve insurance advice that’s actually about them. Not what’s best for one carrier, not what hits a sales quota — just the right coverage at a fair price, explained in plain English.
Three decades later, that’s still the mission. Gesler Insurance is independent, which means we shop the market on every quote. We represent only carriers with strong reputations for fast, fair claims — because the test of an insurance policy isn’t when you buy it, it’s when you have to use it.
From auto and homeowners to commercial, life, health, and long-term care, we cover the whole life of a household or a business. We take the mystery out of it, and we pick up the phone when you call.
The advantages of working with an independent, family-owned agency — not a call-center carrier.
We aren't owned by any one insurance company. We shop our network of A-rated carriers to find what actually fits your life.
You'll work with the same agent every time. We learn your situation once and remember it on every renewal.
Most quote requests come back within one business day — not a week of waiting on a sales rep.
We only place coverage with carriers that have strong financial ratings and a track record of fair, fast claims.
Auto, home, business, life, Medicare, long-term care — all under one roof, so coverage gaps don't sneak up on you.
Stop by Strongsville or New Franklin, or pick up the phone. We're around the corner, not in a call center.
Strongsville, Berea, Columbia Station, North Eaton, Middleburg Heights, New Franklin, and the greater Akron area — plus much of Northeast Ohio in between. If you live or work in our part of the state, we’d love to help.
Eight agents across two offices, ready to find the coverage that fits.
