Higginbotham, a Texas-based employee-owned insurance and financial services firm, has expanded its footprint into South Carolina through a strategic partnership with Turbeville Insurance Agency, one of the state’s leading independent brokerages.
The deal represents Higginbotham’s formal entry into South Carolina and strengthens its broader growth strategy across the Southeastern United States. Turbeville Insurance Agency, headquartered in Columbia with additional offices in Lexington, Beaufort, and Charleston, brings a well-established regional presence and a client base spanning personal, commercial, life, health, and employee benefits insurance lines.
Founded in 1991, Turbeville has grown into one of South Carolina’s larger independent insurance agencies, serving a wide range of industries including construction, hospitality, coastal property, and professional services. Its leadership emphasized long-standing client relationships and community-focused service as core to its identity.
Higginbotham executives described the move as a deliberate expansion into a high-growth market, aligning with a firm that shares its emphasis on local relationships and service-driven culture. The partnership adds to Higginbotham’s ongoing acquisition strategy, which has steadily expanded its presence across multiple U.S. regions in recent years.
