Our Story
The Jordal Agency was founded in 1984 by Norman A. Jordal, who purchased the George E. Nicholas Agency which was established in 1955. Norman’s son, Eric Jordal, joined the agency in 1987 and helped expand the business through various agency acquisitions in Atlantic and Cape May Counties. After Norm’s retirement, Eric took over the family business and continues to provide service to clients by working every day alongside his dedicated staff at the main office, located in Cape May Court House, NJ. Recently, a 2nd location was opened in Brigantine, NJ.

We look forward to earning your business and creating a long-lasting relationship!

Why Choose Us?
We are an Independent Insurance Agency.
Do you know the difference between a Captive Agent and an Independent Agent?
- Captive Agents work for – and sell policies from – one insurance company.
- Independent Agents can sell policies from a variety of insurers, because they’re not employed by (and therefore aren’t beholden to) a specific insurance company.
As an independent insurance agency, we represent many insurance companies which offer a wide variety of coverage options and price points. This gives us the freedom to select the carrier best suited for each individual client. Everyone’s situation is different, so the best insurance for one person may not be the best for another. We are committed to help you find the BEST insurance for YOU.
Much like a personal shopper, we search the marketplace on your behalf and review the rates and coverage options of multiple insurance companies to find the very best fit for you, your family, or your business. We follow a very strict criteria when choosing the companies that we represent and continuously monitor their performance to ensure you are receiving the best combination of price and coverage from reputable insurers.
