Ridpath Insurance Agency has become a trusted name in Mount Pleasant since opening three years ago in May. A family-owned business, Ridpath Insurance Agency prides itself on bringing a small-town feel to the community, much like its original location in Radford, Virginia. The agency was first established in 1960 in Radford, where owner Greg Ridpath grew up. After he and his wife, Liza, married three years ago, they decided to settle in Mount Pleasant (where they met) and extend the agency’s reach to South Carolina.
What sets Ridpath Insurance Agency apart from most insurance providers is its unwavering commitment to accessibility and personalized service. Greg is known for his hands-on approach, often giving out his personal cell number to clients to ensure they receive the support they need. Unlike many agencies that operate on a more corporate structure, Ridpath Insurance Agency encourages walk-ins, believing that insurance should be a simple, stress-free process. Greg and his team take pride in fostering genuine relationships with their clients and providing a welcoming atmosphere where customers feel comfortable dropping by just to chat.
Ridpath Insurance Agency provides a comprehensive range of insurance solutions, partnering with over 90 carriers to ensure clients receive the best coverage for their unique needs. From home, auto, commercial, boat and renters insurance to much more, their team offers the expertise and resources to help clients navigate their options and find the ideal protection for their lives and businesses. They are licensed to serve customers in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Georgia, West Virginia, Iowa and Tennessee, making their reach extensive while maintaining their small-town values.
Family is at the heart of the business, with several family members working alongside Greg and Liza to uphold the agency’s commitment to personalized service. The strong family presence within the company reinforces their dedication to treating clients like extended family. As part of their community-driven mission, Ridpath Insurance Agency is an avid supporter of local initiatives and organizations, including Wando High School athletics, Center for Birds of Prey, FCA, Lucy Beckman High School athletics, the Sea Spot Run fishing tournament, Hooked on Miracles and Reason to Smile, among many others.
The agency’s growth continues with the upcoming opening of a new location in Charlotte, North Carolina. This expansion is a testament to Ridpath Insurance Agency’s success in blending professional expertise with a warm, community-oriented approach. Greg and his team remain committed to providing exceptional service and ensuring that clients receive not only the right insurance coverage but also the knowledge they need to make informed decisions. It’s no wonder they were Nextdoor’s Neighborhood Fave winners in 2023 and 2024 along with being named as one of the top three insurance agencies in the Best of Mount Pleasant 2024.
With a foundation built on faith, service and integrity, Ridpath Insurance Agency stands out as a beacon of trust and reliability in the insurance industry. Whether it’s answering questions, finding the best coverage or simply offering a listening ear, Greg and his team embody the values of care and commitment in everything they do. As they continue to grow, their mission remains the same: to make insurance accessible, straightforward and centered around the people they serve.
