About Our Agency

As an Independent Agent representing over 2 dozen financially sound companies we can do what a Captive Agents (agencies that only represent one company) can’t do and that is shop for you to find the company that can best provide the combination of price and protection. We have been doing this since 1978, and we do it very well.

Meet Our Team

Founded in 1978 by Carl N. Maranto, Maranto Agency, Inc. was established to meet the insurance needs of families and businesses throughout Western New York. Today, the agency continues its proud legacy of family ownership under the leadership of Carl’s daughter, Joelle Maranto, who joined the agency in 1988 and now serves as Partner and President.

Over the past 45+ years, Maranto Agency, Inc. has grown into a full-service insurance provider representing more than 20 insurance carriers. We remain committed to expanding both our team and our range of offerings to better serve our clients with excellence. In addition, we have built strong, long-standing relationships with our insurance partners, enabling us to deliver the best possible solutions for our clients.

From our Williamsville, NY office, our team of dedicated professionals proudly serves over 4,000 individuals and 1,000 local businesses. Our experienced agents and advisors leverage the latest technology to provide comprehensive coverage and personalized service tailored to each client’s unique needs.

At Maranto Agency, Inc., every team member is committed to building lasting relationships based on trust and integrity. No matter a client’s concerns—or how long they’ve been with us—we strive to deliver the exceptional service they deserve. We are sincerely grateful for the trust our clients place in us and remain dedicated to honoring that trust every day.
