Our mission is to safeguard homes, farms, and businesses with local, dependable insurance. Light's Insurance Agency, established in the late 1930s by Paul and Betty Light, has been a cornerstone of Deep River for nearly a century. Over four generations, our commitment has remained unchanged: providing personalized protection while building lasting relationships. Today, our growth allows us to serve more Iowa communities while staying true to our family's 90-year tradition of community-based service.

THE LIGHT'S INSURANCE MISSION WITH IOWANS

Our story begins in the late 1930s, when Paul and Betty Light first opened their doors in Deep River, Iowa. Four generations later, Light’s Insurance and Bear Creek Insurance now serve families, farmers, and businesses across Deep River, Brooklyn, Victor, and New Sharon.

Today, both agencies are owned by Michael Geiger of Deep River, who carries forward his family’s proud tradition of service. Michael believes deeply in supporting our local communities and has no plans to move offices away from the towns we call home. With Light's Insurance, you can count on the same local presence and trusted service for decades to come.

Generations of trust.
Decades of service.

Light's Insurance is Rooted in Family Legacy.

Amazing service!!!
The entire team consistently ensure their customer’s assets stay well protected! It’s been incredible to have them as our insurance for our restaurant, and all our personal belongings.
Thank you Bear Creek!
