About Us

Callistus Smith Agency, Inc. was founded in 1947 by Callistus Smith.

The office was moved from his home to its first Paoli Pike location in the early 60’s. Over the years the agency has grown to be one of the largest in the Southern Indiana area. In late 1996, a new office building was built across the street from the original Paoli Pike location. Our agency has a broad range of products and services. We currently have 18 employees who are committed to providing our policyholders the best value for their insurance dollar.

Vision Statement

Callistus Smith Agency wants to be known as the premier insurance agency in Southern Indiana. We will achieve this goal with our commitment to constant improvement and innovation. Providing the right protection for our clients is our primary concern.

We want to be recognized as a locally owned, civic minded business. We will give back to the community by contributing our time, talents, and resources.

We want to be known as professional, friendly, honest, reliable, and responsible, not only to our clients, but in our daily dealings with one another.

All this will be achieved through our most important asset, our staff, who are empowered to reflect the deep rooted principles of integrity, stability, and commitment to our vision.

Why do business with Callistus Smith Agency?

Unlike a captive, or direct insurance company who only offers their own proprietary products, our agency is 100% independent of any one company. Many insurance consumers don’t fully understand just how important that really is.

When it comes to something as important as insurance, it’s imperative that you work with an agency who has an in-depth knowledge of multiple insurance products, companies, and guidelines — not just one.

At the end of the day, what separates one agent from another, is their ability to proactively service their policy holders, and their knowledge of the insurance industry, products, and different situations that may present themselves to their clients.
