Todays business is Hub International-
Portland Insurance Agency was originally a part of the First & Farmers Bank. In 1976 Larry McGillis joined the business as the agent. In 1983 they purchased Peterson Insurance & Realty and changed their name to MayPort Insurance & Realty and continued under that name with offices in Portland, Mayville, Hillsboro, Buxton and Edmore, until October of 2016 when the agency was sold to the current owner Hub International which has offices throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, giving the agents access to companies all over the country.
There are currently 4 employees at the location in the Portland office with several agents working remotely or in other offices.
Hub International is a small-town insurance agency that concentrates and takes pride in our customer service and strong community support and involvement.
