About Us
Your Neighbors in New Bern Since Day One
Herring's Insurance and Financial Services was built on a simple idea: insurance should feel personal, not transactional. We're a locally owned agency committed to protecting the people and businesses that make New Bern home.
Our Story
Herring's Insurance and Financial Services was founded right here in New Bern, NC with one goal in mind — to give our community access to honest, personalized insurance guidance from someone they could trust.
We've grown alongside the families and businesses we serve, expanding our offerings to cover everything from auto and home insurance to life coverage and financial planning. But no matter how much we've grown, our approach has stayed the same: we treat every client like a neighbor, because that's exactly what you are.
When you call Herring's, you don't get a call center. You get a real person who knows your name, understands your situation, and is genuinely invested in making sure you're protected.
What We Stand For
Community First
New Bern isn't just where we work — it's where we live. We're invested in this community and take pride in protecting the people who make it great.
Honest Guidance
We'll never sell you coverage you don't need. Our job is to help you understand your options and make the choice that's right for your life.
Personal Service
Every client is different. We take the time to listen, ask the right questions, and find coverage that truly fits your situation.
Long-Term Relationships
We're not here for a one-time sale. We're here to be your insurance partner for the long haul — through every life change and milestone.
Meet the Team
We're a small, dedicated team of insurance professionals who care deeply about the people we serve.
