By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms.

 

 

 

1. Company Structure and Nature of Services

 

 

Good Stewards Insurance Agency is a consulting-based insurance advisory business providing insurance education, policy review, and risk consultation services.

 

Good Stewards Insurance Agency is not an insurance carrier and does not directly underwrite, issue, or bind insurance policies in its consulting capacity.

 

 

 

2. Disclosure of Ownership and Agency Relationship

 

 

Ms. LaShawn Shackelford is the owner of Good Stewards Insurance Agency.

 

Ms. Shackelford is currently appointed as an Exclusive Corporate Agent of Allstate Insurance Company.

 

All insurance quotes, applications, and policy transactions conducted by Ms. Shackelford are performed solely in her capacity as an Exclusive Agent of Allstate Insurance Company and are subject to Allstate’s underwriting guidelines, compliance standards, and regulatory framework.

 

When acting in her capacity as an Exclusive Agent, Ms. Shackelford represents Allstate Insurance Company — not Good Stewards Insurance Agency.

 

Any additional licensed agents affiliated with Good Stewards Insurance Agency shall represent only the insurance carrier with which they are formally appointed when providing quotes, policy binding, or carrier-specific services.

 

Good Stewards Insurance Agency does not represent itself as an insurance carrier or as the underwriting entity of any policy.

Good Stewards provides independent consulting services including:

All carrier-specific quotes and applications are completed:

No insurance coverage is bound, active, or effective until formally issued by the respective insurance carrier.

Insurance eligibility, premium determination, underwriting approval, and claim outcomes are solely determined by the issuing insurance carrier.

 

Good Stewards Insurance Agency makes no guarantee regarding:

Free policy reviews are educational in nature and do not constitute legal, tax, or financial advice.
