President and Founder | Full Sail Insurance
Born and raised in Annapolis, Lauren Burleigh brings hands-on experience across personal and commercial insurance, shaped by a family legacy in the industry that spans generations. She is known for her relationship-first approach—where trust and long-term guidance come before transactions—and her real-world claims experience.
Why is it important to make insurance personal again?
My grandfather, Jack Martin, began working in the insurance industry in Annapolis during the 1950s. He focused on people first: building relationships and trust. But somewhere along the way, insurance became more of a transaction than a relationship.
Insurance is personal. It protects where you live, how you earn a living, and what you’re building for the future. When coverage doesn’t line up with real life, gaps can form, which are often discovered only after something goes wrong. Making insurance personal again means slowing down, asking better questions, and understanding how coverage works in real life—not just on paper.
Why should you work with a local, independent insurance advisor?
A local, independent advisor offers more than a price; they offer perspective. Online platforms can generate a quick quote, but they can’t explain coverage, uncover overlooked risks, or show how insurance carriers respond to a claim.
A local advisor also understands Annapolis and Anne Arundel County: the homes, the businesses, the carriers, and the unique risks in the area. They help you understand coverage, adjust it as life changes, and step in when it matters most. Insurance works best as a relationship—not a one-time purchase.
How often should insurance be reviewed?
Insurance should be reviewed every few years or when something meaningful changes: buying a home, growing a business, or experiencing a major life event. Regular reviews help ensure that protection keeps pace with rising costs, changing risks, and long-term goals.
As a business owner, what should you know about your insurance? It’s critical to know exactly what your insurance will—and won’t—do if your business has a loss. As businesses grow, coverage and limits often don’t keep pace, leaving you unsure whether you have enough protection to address income, property, payroll, or ongoing operations after a loss. Having a clear understanding can help you avoid a costly surprise.
