Meet the Independent Insurance Team Stamford Has Trusted Since 1985

Built on Experience, Grown Through Relationships

Hagendoorn And Emond Insurance has served families and business owners in Stamford and surrounding Fairfield County communities for over three decades. Our agency was founded on the belief that insurance works best when it’s coordinated across every part of your life—from your business and vehicles to your home, health, and future.


When Bert Hagendoorn took ownership of the agency in 1985, he brought a personalized, relationship-first philosophy that still drives our service today. In 2000, Bruce Emond joined the firm, combining deep knowledge of business, life, and medical insurance to expand how we help our clients. Today, our four-person team continues to guide individuals and companies through important coverage decisions with the same trusted approach.

Proudly Local. Genuinely Independent.

We’re not a national chain or faceless comparison site. We live here, work here, and understand what local residents and business owners face every day—from insuring coastal homes in Greenwich to helping small business owners in Norwalk understand their options.


As an independent agency, we’re not tied to any one carrier. That means you get real options, real guidance, and real answers.
