Hester Heitel & Assoc. Inc

Insurance agency services from a Phoenix office

An insurance agency in Phoenix, Arizona, Hester Heitel & Assoc. Inc operates as part of AssuredPartners of Arizona. The combined Phoenix office brings together nearly eighty years of agency experience across firms that once traded under their own names, among them Horizon Insurance Agency and Maki Insurance Group. The office says its team creates personal and commercial insurance programs designed around each client, and it describes its values as integrity, respect, accountability, transparency and excellence.

Commercial and personal insurance programs

Commercial insurance programs are designed around each business, and the office also arranges personal insurance options for individuals and families. The programs are built from the office's product knowledge, so that clients can plan for and manage the risks they face.

Employee benefits and surety bonding

Employee benefit portfolios cover group benefits for employers, and the surety and bonding team provides expertise in bond placement. The combination lets an employer manage its staff benefits and its contractual bonding through the same agency.

Elder care, risk management and claims support

A specialty program for elder care serves senior living communities, and proactive strategic risk management consultation helps clients plan for exposures before they become claims. A dedicated claims advocacy team supports clients when a claim is made.

Clients from small local owners to multi-state companies

Its business clients range from local owners of small firms to companies that operate across several states. Its clients work in manufacturing, retail, landscaping, contracting, addiction treatment and senior living. Clients have access to the AP 24/7 Client Portal and can request certificates of insurance online.

Partnership as the working principle

Its approach is summed up as power through partnership, in which the agency works with clients as equals and aims to find solutions that fit each client's needs. The group's national strength supports local, customized solutions, and the team lives and works in the communities it serves.
