Jerome and Summey was founded in 1934 by P. Jerry Jerome and his sister-in-law, Rowena Summey. As a business man, Mr. Jerome saw the need for a local insurance agency to provide coverage for the many homes being built in Brevard and Transylvania County. The office was located at 6 Caldwell Street.
In 1959, the growing agency moved to larger quarters in what was then the Brevard Savings and Loan Building at 132 South Caldwell Street.
In 1971, the Agency was purchased by Jerry Hart Jerome and Carlene Jerome. For continuity, they retained the Summey name.
In 1980 the agency moved into a newly-constructed addition at the same address, where it is today.
In 1997, the firm was purchased by Phillip and Patti Jerome after the death of Jerry Hart Jerome. Today, the firm remains community-oriented and continues to grow in Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina
