Bill Sparks 2023William M. Sparks   1945 - 2023

My father, William (Bill) Sparks, passed away sadly but comfortably  Sunday morning, surrounded by his family. He was a kind and loving man with a heart of gold.  There are so many who loved him and will feel this loss –  in the business world and far beyond.  He would say thank you to all of his small-business customer for their support, and he would wish everyone peace and happiness. I have run the William M. Sparks Insurance Agency for many years now, and I will continue to run it just as my father did and as he would want me to do.  On behalf of my family, I thank you all for your kind words, well wishes and support at this time.   --- Danielle Sparks

Sparks Insurance Referral Program Guidelines

  1. For the purposes of this Program, a Referral is a qualified prospect – that is, a person who will give us all the necessary information to create a quote and who has a currently-existing insurance policy for us to use for comparison.  We reserve the right to exclude as ineligible for this program any referral who has had no prior insurance or who requires high risk auto or other hard-to-place insurance.
  2. There is no limit on the number of referrals you may make. You earn a chance in our prize drawing each time you provide a qualified referral, and there is no limit on the number of chances you may create for yourself.  The odds of winning the prize during the drawing are entirely dependent on the total number of chances created during the referral program period.
  3. The referral program is open to any person age 18 or over who refers at least one eligible prospect to our agency.
  4. The qualified prospects that are referred do NOT have to purchase an insurance policy (i.e., become our client) in order for the referring party to receive any of the rewards and/or chances in this program.
  5. We are not responsible if law prohibits you from accepting the prize because of age or any other factor should your name be drawn as our winner.
  6. This referral program and the rewards provided are open to any person who refers a qualified prospect to our agency. You do NOT have to be a client of our agency in order to be eligible to participate in this referral program. Agency employees and their immediate family members are not eligible.
  7. You do NOT have to be present at the drawing to win the prize.  However, you must visit our office in person to claim your prize should your name be drawn as the winner.

sparks billAbout William M. Sparks

I have been in the insurance business since 1974. I started out as a life insurance agent working through Metropolitan Life and became a Life Specialist with Safeco Insurance Co. While there I was trained in Pension Planning and Advance Life Insurance Planning.

I became an agent for a local insurance agent working with his customers and trying to acquire new business for his agency. I obtained my Property and Casualty License while I was in his employment. After he decided to close his agency, I opened my own business and I was proud to represent one of the best insurance companies in the country. I was one of the first agents in the Baltimore County area for the Erie Insurance Group. I was appointed by the current President of the company and have had a successful agency since 1981. I also represent another fine company, Progressive Insurance. Both companies have been there for my policyholders which has given us the ability to stay competitive and provide satisfactory service to my accounts.

Optional Business Insurance Coverages

  • Business interruption insurance / Loss of Rental Income
