Insurance Done Differently — For 40+ Years
Cheri Nelson Insurance Agency was built on a simple idea: South Carolina families and businesses deserve an agent who listens first, shops the entire market, and stays in their corner long after the policy is signed. That's been our approach since 2013 — backed by four decades of industry experience.
Our Story — From Industry Insider to Your Independent Advocate
Cheri Nelson spent more than 40 years inside the insurance industry — building her career with State Farm and Farm Bureau before launching her own independent agency in Goose Creek, South Carolina in 2013.
The reason was simple: after decades of watching captive agents limited to a single company's products, she knew families and businesses deserved better. Better options. Better advice. A better relationship with the person managing their coverage.
Today, Cheri Nelson Insurance Agency represents over 70 top-rated carriers — including Progressive, Chubb, Great American, SageSure, Hagerty, National General, and more. We shop the entire market on your behalf and recommend what actually fits your life and your budget. Not what's easiest for us to sell.
Based in Goose Creek and serving the greater Charleston area, we protect individuals, families, and businesses across South Carolina. When you call our office, a real person answers — someone who knows your name, remembers your situation, and genuinely cares about getting it right.

What Lowcountry Families Say About Us
“Cheri has been handling our family's insurance since 2015. She's switched us to better carriers twice when she found us lower rates. That's not something most agents bother doing.”
Patricia H.
Long-Term Client, Goose Creek
“I had a complicated commercial situation — multiple vehicles, a building, and general liability. Cheri sorted it all out and saved me money compared to what I was paying before.”
