We're Not Just Nearby — We're Involved Here

Mark Carey is an active member of the Old Forge Lions. That's not a marketing line — it means he shows up at meetings, knows the borough, and understands what life here actually looks like. When you call Carey Insurance as an Old Forge resident, you're reaching someone who's already invested in this community before you ever picked up the phone.

 

Our Avoca office is just minutes from Old Forge. You can drive over for a face-to-face conversation, or handle everything by phone or email if that's easier. We work the way you want to work.

35 Years of Serving Lackawanna County — And Still Counting

Carey Insurance Agency has been locally and family-owned since our founding. We're not a franchise. We're not a regional office for a national brand. We're a Lackawanna County agency that has spent more than three decades building relationships with the families and businesses we cover.

 

That longevity matters when something goes wrong. You're not starting over with a new agent every few years. You're working with someone who knows your history, your property, and your situation.
