Meet Reggie
The fastest-growing Insurance in Baldwin County!
Reggie Pulliam, born and raised in
Southern Louisiana, often scoffed
at the notion of becoming an
insurance agent. After graduating
from LSU in 2008, teaching high
school and working in DC at a
public policy institute, he ended up
in Tulsa, OK, at his parents house
in 2013, without a clue on what to
do with his career. He, once again,
was advised to enter the insurance
world, but this time, he had no
choice but to listen. His desire to
help organize a better community
was rightly told, would be boosted
as an insurance agent, rather than
bartender/author. He began at State
Farm in 2013, and was able to
transfer down to the Gulf Coast in
2015 with the company.
Reggie opened up Coastal
Alabama Insurance in a closet of
not put together properly) desk, two
chairs, a printer, and an unmatched
work ethic. He was determined
to give local residents and
professionals alike something they
had not had in ages: an insurance
agency that services clients.
That was in 2016. The agency is
now one of the fastest growing
insurance agencies in the state,
Gulf Shores Pkwy, nestled between
Young’s Suncoast Realty and El
Toro. They now have four eager
licensed agents there to assist with
the area’s insurance needs. The
phones are forwarded 24/7, making
the agency on call at all times, on
nights and weekends in the event
of an emergency or claim. All claims
are handled in-house, meaning
clients and friends will neverhave to
call an 800 number to make a claim.
The agency prides itself on getting
insurance proposals back within an
hour to clients and the multitude of
home service providers along the
Gulf Coast.
The agency is positioned to become
an insurance agency for the 21st
Century, where instant access
online is paired with a local agent,
making the whole process much
more consumer friendly, via apps
and online access. He believes that
the old model of insurance is no
longer sustainable for the modern
client, and that State Farm will be
the “AOL/Myspace” within the next
decade or so.
Reggie is married to a local Gulf
Shores Kindergarten Teacher,
Cassie Pulliam, and they are
Austin, in October of 2019.
