About Our Agency

About Us – The True Carolina Difference.

True Carolina Insurance was founded with a simple belief: people deserve honest guidance and real options when choosing coverage. After years of working with local families and business owners as a State Farm agent, Charlie Neely recognized the need for an agency built on independence — one that wasn’t limited to a single carrier’s products. What began as a commitment to clearer conversations and tailored solutions has grown into a trusted resource for businesses and communities across Brunswick County and Coastal Carolina. Built on the values of service, transparency, and community, our agency strives to make insurance feel understandable, personal, and truly local.


Serving you across the CAROLINAs

From our Ocean Isle Beach office, we support clients across Brunswick County — from Calabash to Leland as well as neighboring communities throughout Coastal Carolina. Whether you're a business owner navigating commercial coverages or a family planning for the future, we’re here to guide you with clarity and care.

Our mission is to serve Brunswick County as a trusted local advocate—delivering honest, independent insurance guidance focused on Business, Life, and Health protection, complemented by personalized Home and Auto coverage.

We stand by our clients through every season of life and business.
The Values That Define Us

Independence That Works for You
