International brokerage Hub International Limited has acquired the assets of Seattle-based DeFranco Insurance. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
DeFranco Insurance specializes in personal and commercial insurance services. As part of the transaction, agency president John DeFranco and his team will join Hub Northwest.
“DeFranco Insurance has been a staple of the Seattle community for the last 70 years, and we are excited for the opportunity to bring our teams together,” said Eric Schack, senior executive vice president of Hub Northwest. “This partnership further strengthens our Hub Northwest brand in the Puget Sound marketplace.”
