Horizon West’s Good Neighbor – Craig Martin Insurance

Leah Emmanouilidis • July 16, 2020

Local Agent Supports Community Residents with Customized Insurance and Financial Services

Craig Martin has spent nearly three decades in the insurance industry, but if you ask him what he does for a living, he will tell you his job is “helping people.” A local resident, avid community supporter and “coach” to all his clients, he does much more than just managing risk and protecting assets. 
  
“My team and I work together to fulfill our responsibility to the community to provide outstanding service, but we also endeavor to fulfill our moral obligation of protecting what's important to our customer so they can focus on accomplishing their life goals,” Craig explains.

A self-proclaimed perpetual student, Craig is always adding to his certifications and expertise to offer comprehensive services in an ever-changing economic climate. His team learns continuously and adds to their combined 100 years of insurance experience every day. 

More Than Just Insurance

Looking beyond the usual offerings like auto and home insurance, the team at Craig Martin Insurance examines each client’s situation to ensure they are fully covered in all aspects of their life including renter’s, life, business, income protection, and supplemental health insurances as well as financial services like banking, retirement planning and investments. 


Craig feels that to provide sound services, you need well-rounded experience with all of the aspects of managing risk, protecting assets and income, as well as managing finances. That’s why he holds numerous certifications and licenses to fulfill the comprehensive planning he believes is essential. 

What Sets Craig Martin Insurance Apart?

You won’t find a cookie cutter or one-size-fits-all approach at their Hamlin office. Every policy is tailored to the client’s specific needs. In fact, when working with Craig Martin Insurance, you can expect an annual review of your coverage to ensure any life changes are examined for changing coverage needs.


“Spending just 30 minutes to go over details of your situation can make a big difference in selecting the right coverage options. I’m a proponent of ensuring you aren’t paying for more coverage than you need, but also making sure there aren’t any dangerous gaps,” says Craig.


It is said that insurance is only as good as the agent advising you and the company writing the check. In both cases, Craig Martin Insurance has you covered figuratively and literally!


Craig says his 28 years have gone by in a flash, but he has seen and learned a lot along the way. He puts that experience to work for his clients every day. 

A Strong Commitment to Community Support

State Farm has historically been involved with volunteerism and community outreach, and Craig Martin Insurance is continuing that tradition right here in Horizon West in several ways. The team participates in Orange County Public School’s Partners in Education program, which connects education with the business community to provide students with even more opportunities for success. Participating annually in OCPS “Teach In” (Career Day) event and setting up supply drives for local schools are just a few examples of ways they support children.


Others include coordinating an annual toy drive for Matthew’s Hope Ministries, a faith-based homeless outreach ministry in Orange County, and supporting Nathaniel’s Hope, an organization dedicated to celebrating kids with special needs (VIPs) as well as educating and equipping communities and churches to provide programs and assistance for VIP families.


Personally, Craig and his family are also part of their local church prayer team, and they sponsor a child through Compassion International, which is a humanitarian aid organization that aims to positively impact the development of children living in poverty, globally. 

Why Horizon West?

Horizon West is an attractive location because of the tremendous growth due to people relocating here from all over the county and the world.

Craig selected the Town Center of Horizon West as the home of his business largely for the potential to assist as many people as possible, noting “The more people there are, the more good we can do.”


Typically, you can walk right into the Hamlin location to meet with Craig or another knowledgeable agent anytime during business hours. If you prefer to meet virtually or by phone, that’s not a problem. They are well-equipped to work with you remotely as well.
