Our Story

Swanson Agency got its start in Pendroy in 1933, when John Swanson began helping neighbors with real estate and insurance. Nearly a century later, we’re still here—just with a few more tools and a wider reach.

These days, we serve clients from Pendroy to Whitefish, helping them protect what they’ve built, plan for what’s next, and get it right.

"We’ve been working with Swanson Agency for the past 6 years for our business entities, our payroll, and our personal taxes. Their level of knowledge and expertise is matched by their professionalism and customer service. It’s clear in their dedication to their work why they’ve been in business for close to a century.
