About Ifft & Palmer

Founded in 1969, Ifft & Palmer has been representing and advocating for our clients as Pittsburgh’s premier independent insurance agency. As a privately owned firm headquartered in downtown Pittsburgh, we work for you—ensuring that your assets, business, and future are protected with comprehensive risk management strategies and a wide range of property and liability solutions.

As an independent agency, we are not bound to a single provider. Instead, we leverage our extensive network of top-rated insurance carriers to find the best coverage at the most competitive rates. Our commitment is to you—not to any insurance company. This means businesses, corporations, professional organizations, non-profits, individuals, and families receive customized protection designed to fit their unique needs.

For over five decades, our success has been built on trust, integrity, and a relentless commitment to exceptional service. At Ifft & Palmer, we don’t just offer insurance — we represent you, protect what matters most, and provide the peace of mind you deserve.
