About us

Nicholas Daddona, Owner/ President

Nick was born and raised in Fall River, MA. He is a graduate of BMC Durfee High School and went on to study business at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire. After college, Nick became a registered representative with New York Life Insurance Company. At 24, Nick opened up his first Allstate Insurance Agency in Dartmouth, MA. He realized that insurance is very different in Massachusetts than in most states. To better help serve his clients, he had to be able to offer multiple solutions. Thus Southcoast Insurance Group was born.

As the insurance business grew, Nick saw an opportunity to use his knowledge, skills, and experience in the insurance and investment industry to bring more value to his clients. His ultimate passion is to help with financial planning. The investment firm Southcoast Financial Group was formed, specializing in asset preservation, income planning, and wealth management.

The most important aspect of Nick’s life is and always will be his beautiful family. His wife Lucy is a small-town Indiana girl who, by some miracle, actually married him. Feel free to ask Nick about how they met; he loves to tell it. They have been blessed with two beautiful children, their daughter Charlotte and son Elliott. They now reside in Marion, Massachusetts, with their Goldendoodle, Scout.

Why Southcoast Insurance Group?

Over time, premiums can rise to a level that makes most people consider changing to another insurance agency. If you are like most people, there is never enough time to completely check all rates with all reliable carriers.

Southcoast Insurance Group is an independent agency that takes the time to compare rates for you. Simply provide us with the information we need to compare rates from top carriers, and you will have multiple quotes to choose from.

Marketing Philosophy

We don’t move accounts from one carrier to another just to save a few dollars. We believe in building relationships with clients and carriers—including longstanding relationships with individual underwriters—and acting as the advocate for our clients in their relationships with carriers.

Staying with a particular insurance agency, rather than switching carriers year after year, helps to build a strong partnership that will yield better results and better service over the long term. In return, we expect carriers to keep pricing and coverage availability current as markets evolve in order to better cultivate and maintain those long-term relationships with us and with our clients.
