We
We are thrilled to announce that effective August 31, 2023, CMR Insurance has officially acquired Chatsworth Insurance Brokers!
This strategic move marks a significant milestone in our commitment to enhancing our capabilities and expanding our reach. This merger brings together two highly compatible firms, combining decades of experience, expertise and a dedication to providing excellent customer service.
With the combined expertise and resources of both teams, we are poised to deliver even greater value and a wider range of options to our valued clients. Our dedicated professionals will continue to work diligently to ensure seamless integration and a smooth transition for all current Chatsworth Insurance clients.
