Quality insurance solutions for business and life
John T. Cook and Associates was established in Myrtle Beach, SC, in May of 1983. Founder and president, John “Tommy” Cook, worked as a commercial underwriter for two large carriers for 10 years before yielding to his entrepreneurial spirit and founding his insurance agency. Tommy and his wife, Bonnie, continue to be active in the business today. Tommy serves as the agency president and Bonnie is the office manager.
Over the years, the Myrtle Beach insurance agency has grown from a staff of three to a staff of 13 insurance professionals, helping clients with auto insurance, homeowners insurance, and business insurance, with specialized focus in the restaurant insurance and condominium association insurance niches. In 2009, the agency became a member of the Correll Insurance Group, the largest non-bank owned independent agent in South Carolina, offering a range of competitve insurance products, from customized business solutions to personalized car and home insurance. The company has more than 140 insurance professionals across the state and provides the John T.

Condominium Association Insurance
As a condo association, you take actions and make decisions on behalf of your member homeowners. For example, you may hire a landscaping company, make decisions about pool maintenance, or hire and supervise a team of lifeguards. You also might collect dues and manage a budget.
It seems easy enough, but it’s far from easy when something goes seriously wrong. For example, who is responsible if a lifeguard accuses a board member of sexual harassment? What happens if the condo association treasurer embezzles the association’s funds? Who pays if the pool isn’t correctly maintained and several children become violently ill due to chemical poisoning?
Many board members are surprised to learn that when things go wrong, they can be found personally liable if the association does not have the proper condo association insurance coverage with directors and officers liability protection.
Here at John T. Cook and Associates, we’ve helped countless condo associations understand their risks and secure smart, affordable protection. We’d like to help you too.
