Our goal is to make a positive difference in the lives and communities we serve.

When our grandfather, Clifford Zinn, established Zinn Insurance in 1938, the business was an extension of his personal values, professionalism, citizenship, and being an advocate to those he served. He went beyond insurance to invest himself in the relationships he made and contributed to help the local community flourish.

These values were instilled in our father and in us as we make up the third generation of the “family business.” These values have been the foundation on which Zinn Insurance has grown and they guide us in the way we do business today.

We know you have a choice of who will serve your insurance needs. We hope that we can have the opportunity to show you how our services and approach to business can protect and secure the assets and quality of life you’ve worked hard for. We work hard to earn the trust and respect of each of our clients and would welcome the privilege to serve you.

Thank you,

J. Gregory Zinn, Principal

We contacted our agent Donna Jones at Zinn Insurance about some damage to our roof. Donna had an insurance adjustor come inspect the roof within two days. Thanks to Donna who did a great job in helping us with our coverage.

Having moved from York to Myerstown just 3 years ago, I have already worked with 3 local insurance brokers. From this point forward, I will no longer have to search for another local agency. Zinn Insurance, being represented by Shannon Wilson and Lauren Nutter, is genuinely a caring and customer-focused agency. They know and understand our insurance priorities, because they ask the right questions. More importantly, they work very hard to find us the best insurance value that meets our objectives. In short, I honestly feel as though Zinn wants our business for the LONG term, not just for one year at a time. They demonstrate that commitment by the way they treat us and care for us as people, not as an account commission. I really like the people at Zinn. I recommend them wholeheartedly and with confidence to anyone looking for a top notch insurance agency.

Zinn Insurance is everything you could ask for in an insurance agency. They work very hard for their clients and are always trying to improve their product. I also appreciate that they do everything they can to keep your rates as low as possible including keeping you posted if there are discounts you can get.
