  • Dan Davis

I started looking for new Homeowners insurance when my premiums went from $2400 year to $7500. After a solid week of talking to Insurance representatives I found Michele Mcilmurray from Brightway and I knew that she was my new insurance agent. She explained everything that is involved in finding insurance in a clear and understandable way. Communication was top notch and I never had any question that she couldn't answer. When I had questions about what is and is not covered she walked me through each line on the Declarations page. I could go on and on about what a Sincere, Energetic, Knowledgable, and Hard working agent. Brightway needs to make sure that Michele has all of tools she needs to be a successful Insurance Agent at a successful Agency. Thank you Brightway and Good Luck Michele. Sincerely Dan Davis Very satisfied Customer

  • Louis Gonzales

I just wanted to say thank you so much to Bright Way insurance and Michelle McilMurray for the exceptional customer service that has been given. Very patient with all my questions and was always happy to assist. I've called her numerous times and sent her emails and she's always responded which is something you don't see that often anymore. She made the process of purchasing home insurance a breeze especially since I am a first time homeowner. Do yourself a favor and call Michelle for any and all of your insurance needs. She is A+.Thanks Again LG

Brightway Insurance is a stellar choice for anyone seeking comprehensive coverage and top-notch customer service. Their team is proactive, always ready to address queries, and ensures that you get the best policy suited to your needs. Their seamless process made my experience hassle-free. I highly recommend Brightway Insurance for their professionalism, transparency, and dedication to their clients. It's evident they prioritize customer satisfaction above all else. A truly trustworthy insurance provider!

  • Mike Verian

I am in the insurance business but on the P&C side so I can say with a level of certainty that Michele is a very service-oriented professional who (obviously) is solely interested in making sure she offers her clients not just the best terms and conditions but the best price as well. From my recent interaction, she isn't as much interested in ... selling insurance ... but making sure her clients are getting the best value while still making sure they are adequately protected. Great experience!

  • Gerry Donnelly

Josh has been how agent for many years at Brightway insurance. He has always found us the best price on different policies that we have needed from car insurance to homeowners insurance. I would recommend Brightway Insurance to anyone that is looking for insurance. He is very professional and up front. If you need any type of insurance go see Josh at Brightway Insurance in the Mandarin office Clarie Lane and San Jose Blvd. ThankYou Josh for everything that you have done. Mr & Mrs. Donnelly

  • Shannon Keough

Another wonderful experience with Brightway Insurance! Josh Hicks is awesome!! He was referred to us by a friend and she did not steer us wrong. Josh has answered every email I’ve sent within minutes of sending it. He got us the best quote for our homeowner’s insurance and took care of all of our needs. Anytime we have had a question, he has an immediate answer. I have never dealt with a more dependable and trustworthy agent. You will not go wrong with Josh Hicks or Brightway!!

  • Robert Oliver

Brightway, via my agent Josh Hicks, have assisted me with my homeowner insurance needs for the past decade. He and they have always been proactive in seeking out the best balance of cost and coverage for me while also being responsive to my questions. I have been completely satisfied with the service provided and have never felt the urge to take my business elsewhere. As of now, I can recommend Brightway and Josh without reservation.

  • Dawn

I have been working with Brightway Insurance since 2004 while living in Jacksonville. I have moved twice since then to other areas of Florida and continue to use them because of their exceptional customer service and personnel, especially Josh. He has always been very professional and helpful in getting me the best policies for my needs. If you are looking for a good company who takes care of its clients, Brightway is it for me.

  • cynthia strong

Excellent customer service and rates! Jim and Josh were both very thorough and dedicated in finding me the absolute best rates for my home and auto.They were also very efficient with answering questions I had about the type of coverage I was looking for. Their Brightway team has managed to save me hundreds of dollars over my old rates. I am very thankful to them for helping me save money. Highly recommend this Brightway office!

  • Brandon Griffis

Josh Hicks at Brightway is awesome. I honestly didn’t think anyone cared that much to look into my homeowners insurance since the rate went up, so I was shopping around myself. Come to find out, Josh was already doing that, and contacted me about a better rate. He got everything taken care of super fast, and I can’t be more happy with the service! Definitely reach out to him!

  • Khiela Shaw

I have always been very pleased with Brightway especially working with my agent Josh Hicks! He’s very proactive easy to work with and answers all my questions and get the job done in a timely manner!

  • Warren McCrary

Excellent service. By far the best value home insurance quote I found. I tried an insurance website for "quotes". I was bombarded by email, phone calls, and voice messages from 4-5 agencies all asking for personal information. Talking to a local guy like Jim is the only way to navigate Florida's insane home insurance market. Highly recommended Mr. Pihl's team!

  • MJA

Michele was the best.....she put up with my questions so eloquently and answered everything in a way I could understand, since I find any Insurance confusing. She found a quote for me that was apples to apples and a very acceptable value!! I appreciate all she did for me. I plan on spreading the word about Michele and Brightway Insurance. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

  • Allison Johnston

Buying a home in 2023 is a million times more stressful than 2018. I spoke to my current company and multiple other companies before speaking with Brightway and Josh Hicks.
