History of Scott Agency, Inc.

Scott Agency, Inc. was established in 1935 by Harry A. Scott and originally operated under the name of Harry Scott Insurance & Real Estate Agency. The first location was in a one-room office on the second floor of a local bank in Montgomery City, Missouri.

In 1949, Harry hired Keith Duren as a part-time agent. Keith became a full partner in 1951 and after Harry’s retirement in 1952, Keith and his wife, Elaine, eventually became full owners of the agency.

Scott Agency, Inc. was officially incorporated in 1976.

In 1977, the Durens’ daughter, Patsy and son-in-law, Brent Speight, joined the agency.

Scott Agency, Inc. opened its branch office in Warrenton, Missouri in 1981.

The Melahn Insurance Agency Inc. was purchased by Scott Agency, Inc. in 1989. The agency is a fully owned subsidiary of Scott Agency, Inc. and currently has a producer and two employees as support staff.

In 2007, a third generation joined the company when Brent and Patsy’s son, Matt Speight, became a producer for the agency.

In 2016, Scott Agency, Inc. became a partner in the Keystone Insurers Group, one of the largest networks of independent insurance agencies in the country. As a partner of Keystone, Scott Agency, Inc. is connected to a community of other like-minded agencies, enhanced carrier access and industry expertise. We remain independent, but we can call upon the strength of our partners to resolve issues faster and find the best solutions for our clients.

Over the years, Scott Agency Inc. has grown to three locations with a total of 16 employees. Two offices operate under the Scott Agency name and one as Melahn Insurance Agency. Our main office is in Montgomery City, with our Scott Agency branch office in Warrenton, Missouri. Our third office, the Melahn Insurance Agency is located in Mexico, Missouri.
