About Conver & Winchell

Independent, local, and dedicated to finding you the right coverage. We've been protecting Billings families since 2003.

Twenty-plus years
on Grand Avenue.

Conver & Winchell was founded in Billings by Barry Conver and Dennis Winchell in 2003. Sara McLean was an agent with the agency from the day its doors opened. After Dennis passed away, Sara became Barry’s partner in 2010. When Barry retired in 2017, she became the agency’s sole owner.

Through every chapter, Conver & Winchell has remained intentionally small. That matters to us because when you call, you should get a person who knows you—not a queue or a call center.

As an independent insurance agency, we work for our clients—not for one insurance company. We compare coverage from multiple carriers, tell you honestly when your current policy is still the right choice, and look for better options when a renewal no longer makes sense.

We insure the things that are part of life in Montana—from homes, cars, and pickups to ATVs, campers, boats, first apartments, and e-bikes. We understand the weather, roads, and everyday risks Montanans face because we live here too. That local knowledge helps us recommend coverage based on your life and your property—not generic assumptions about what you need.

The People Behind
Your Protection

Personal Service.
Local Agent. Right Protection.

We're not a call center or a faceless website. We're your neighbors, and we take that seriously.

Independent Agency

We work for you, not one insurance company. We compare coverage across multiple carriers to find your best fit, with no pressure and no bias.

Truly Local

We know Montana's climate, lifestyle, and risks, because we live here too.

Right Coverage, Right Price

We take the time to understand your needs and find policies that actually protect you, not just the cheapest option or the most expensive one.

24/7 Claims Support

When something goes wrong, it rarely waits for business hours. Your carrier's claims team is reachable around the clock, any day of the year.

Bundle & Save

Combine home, auto, and more with the same carrier for significant multi-policy discounts. Better protection for less.

Real People, Real Help

Call, email, or stop by. We're here to answer questions, make changes, and make insurance actually make sense for you.

Top Carriers,
One Trusted Agency

We're not locked into a single company. We partner with multiple top-rated carriers so we can always find the right fit for you.
