History
Lowcountry Insurance & Financial Services Inc was established in 2000 by our founder, Jim Pate, a native of Georgetown. Jim worked for large companies such as Allstate, New York Life, Metlife and Prudential, and earned some of the highest recognitions these companies awarded. Having been in the insurance business for 20+ years, Jim recognized the need for more Pawleys Island insurance options than were available at the time in our coastal community.
To help grow the organization, Jim brought in his daughter, Angela Pate Chandler, as Managing Partner in 2001. She is also a Georgetown native with a finance degree and an MBA. Her prior experience having owned her own mortgage company in Charleston, SC aided her to quickly manage all operations for the agency.
In 2020, we celebrated our 20th anniversary, and we look forward to many more years of serving families and giving back to our community now with the partnership of Correll Insurance Group.
