About WSMT Insurance
Our History
WSMT Insurance was founded in 1969 under the original name of Ward & Bosely Insurance. Since then, with the additions of N. Richard Scarborough, Dick Molinaro, and Kevin Thrailkill, the company name was changed to WSMT, Inc.
In 2014, BB&K of Maryland, Inc. purchased WSMT, and brought their experience and resources to this Harford County Maryland mainstay. Today, the agency continues to provide the personal, face-to-face approach of dealing with people that has marked its beginnings. WSMT is located in Bel Air, Maryland. In 2017, BB&K of Maryland, Inc. proudly welcomed the clients of the Dean Insurance Agency, Inc. Our combined agency force now represents over 6,000 clients in the tri-state area.
