Inszone Insurance Services, a rapidly growing national provider of commercial, personal, and benefits insurance, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Chelf Insurance Group, LLC. This acquisition further strengthens Inszone’s footprint in Oklahoma.
Co-owners Justin Crane and Nate Crow officially founded Chelf Insurance Group in 2024. The agency quickly established a significant local presence by acquiring a 50-year-old insurance book in 2025. Backed by over 40 years of combined industry experience, Crane, Crow, and key team member Deanna Whitley have committed themselves to servicing Stillwater and the surrounding areas with exceptional client care.
The agency provides a strong foundation in employee benefits while also offering comprehensive Property and Casualty, Home, Auto, Commercial, and Workers’ Compensation coverage.
The decision to partner with Inszone stemmed from a long-standing working relationship with Justin Stephenson of Stephenson, Baggs & Guthrie, who first introduced the opportunity. For Crane and Crow, the decision ultimately came down to the people and the expanded resources available to their clients.
“When Justin brought this opportunity to us, it immediately seemed like a good fit, allowing us to expand on the P&C side and utilize better marketing resources,” said the co-owners of Chelf Insurance Group. “Our initial contact with the Inszone team, including Ken Kaiser and Chris Walters, made us feel right at home. They gave us the comfort to move forward with the transaction.”
By joining Inszone, the Chelf Insurance Group team gains access to top-tier back-office support and advanced agency management systems like Epic, all while maintaining their core commitment to their local clientele.
“Justin, Nate, and Deanna bring a fantastic blend of new agency energy and decades of established community trust,” said Chris Walters, CEO of Inszone Insurance Services. “We are thrilled to welcome them aboard. By providing them with our national platform and advanced management systems, we know they will continue to provide incredible service to the Stillwater community for years to come.”
