I started bidding projects in 2012. Shawn was my agent from the beginning. Within 3 years I was bidding projects in excess of $10,000,000. Shawn set me on the right path, has kept me there, and I have never been let down by his advice. He has my whole-hearted endorsement.

Surety bonding was a frustrating process until we met Shawn. Shawn immediately made changes on how we reported items to the surety, which had a direct impact. In due course we changed CPA’s. Now obtaining bonds is as easy as requesting insurance certs.
—Sloan C.
We needed a performance and payment bond for $2.3M. We called Shawn Friday morning. Shawn came to our office that afternoon for a meeting, where we provided him with the bulk of the items he had requested. He worked over the weekend, along with our office manger, to complete the file. By late Tuesday afternoon he had approved the bond. The process went just as he told us it would. Our whole office was very impressed.

I’ve known Shawn for more than 12 years now, and through Shawn I was able to get my first bond. Since then, my company has grown significantly, and I believe he has played a major role in my company’s growth. We are continually growing, and I consider Shawn to be a very important part of my team. Shawn is very knowledgeable, sincere and honest, and I recommend him highly for anyone who has bond needs.

I was introduced to Shawn Blume 4 years ago. My relationship with Shawn has turned out to be one of my most valued business relationships. Before meeting Shawn, bonding was a confusing and frustrating process. I was never able to count on what I had been told by previous surety providers. Shawn has not only provided me with a reliable and consistent source of surety bonds, but he has also increased my single limit bonding capacity by a multiple of 5, while decreasing my reporting requirements. My only regret is that I had not met Shawn much earlier.
—Joe M.

Shawn Blume is a key member of our company and its success. Without Shawn’s outstanding service and support, our company would not be where it is today.
