Our Story

Small-Town Values Meets World-Class Service.


Providing Outstanding Coverage Since 1960

A FAMILY TRADITION


The word “family” is often used to describe the John Scott Insurance Agency in many ways. It is used to describe John Scott’s vision in 1960 when he set out to provide local residents with economical insurance coverage in downtown Dowagiac, Michigan. “Family” is used to describe the personal touch that his son Richard Scott embraced from 1976 to 2001. And… yes, the word “family” continues to be used to communicate that the agency is currently led by third generation owners Todd & Amy (Scott) Marazita. However, to us the word “family” means more than just a family owned company. It reflects the values in which we embrace our clients and their service experience. It reflects our passion to give back to our community, especially to those less fortunate. And, it means working together in a way that honors a Christian spirit. Putting the needs of our clients above all else has remained our number one priority as we continue to expand our carrier representation and areas of coverage.

The WOW Experience!

Drawing inspiration from the great company Zappos.com and their Delivering Happiness Client Focus, we too are passionate about providing our clients with a WOW Experience! That’s why we pledge to provide you the best customer experience you’ll find anywhere! From the first moment you reach out to us, we work to secure you the most comprehensive coverage for the best possible price. And down the road, too, we’ll be there for all your big life changes… growing your family, moving into a new home (or improving the one you have), buying a new vehicle, starting a business, or retiring. No matter what life throws at you, with a variety of offerings from John Scott Insurance, we’ll be there every step of the way to make sure you’re never left unprotected.

Small-Town Values

Yes, we’re located in a small town in southwest Michigan, and our staff does feel like family (in fact, some of us ARE family). But don’t be fooled by our friendly, casual atmosphere. Our team of experienced agents delivers a top-notch experience. From providing you access to the highest-quality carriers to our pledge to provide excellence in every area of our business, we’re committed to delivering a “High-Touch, WOW experience!” to every one of our clients, and we’d love to offer that experience to you.
