LEARN ABOUT US
Melissa Ems Insurance Agency customer service representative Leah Lindell answers the phone.

Local. Independent.
Third-Generation.

Melissa is a St. Petersburg, Florida native and proud member of Keep St. Pete Local. Her father, Joe Ems, was a State Farm agent for 35 years (and occupied the same office for 10 of them!). Her grandmother was an aviation insurance underwriter.

While she has learned just about everything there is to know about the insurance industry, the guiding principle she has always relied on is to help people honestly, fairly, and with integrity. Learn more about Melissa Ems’ top-rated independent insurance agency and team here.

"…Any time my rates need to be reviewed the ME team is on it!! I can’t recommend them enough to anyone either shopping insurance or needing to shop their insurance. This office is professional yet fun, down to earth and they treat you like family, not paychecks. Definitely check them out!"

"...they were able to save me $205 a month on my premium without giving up any of my coverage! I was ecstatic!  I have had to call the office and email them a couple times with questions I had since I've made the switch and the response time is incredible in addition to the customer service and knowledge of the employees. My only regret is that I didn't make the change sooner. RUN, don't walk to this agency and let them give you a quote!"

April K.

"I got my homeowners insurance here. Melissa and her staff are awesome! Everyone is friendly and sees things through until completed. They are independent agents and can look at different companies for the best deals on coverages and price. I like this agency because I can TRUST them."

Frequently Asked Questions

Melissa Ems Insurance Agency inside office lobby Melissa stands next to a colorful painting.

Yep! I’m their kid!

A 4 point inspection is generally required with homes over 30 years old. The report talks about the condition of the roof, electrical, a/c and plumbing including the water heater and what the last updates to each respective area were last completed. There will be pictures accompanying each.

A wind mitigation report is not a required inspection, however, it is what tells us how securely the roof is attached to the house and/or if there is any hurricane rated opening protection. While this report is not required, it is highly recommended because it tells us of any available discounts…. and we love discounts!

Nope! So go find the color you love most and show that bad boy off all around town!

The declarations page or “dec” page is where your coverage is listed out in the policy. An ID card is not a dec page. The ID card does not list the coverage specifics and we need that for rating and proof of prior insurance reasons.
