Shannon Purple – President, Forgotten Coast Market
Shannon Purple
Insuring Life on the Forgotten Coast, One Neighbor at a Time.
Homes, beach houses, boats, golf carts and everything families love about life on the coast.
Your Neighbor in Insurance, Right Here at Home.
Shannon leads Daffin’s Forgotten Coast market, focused entirely on personal insurance for the families of Gulf County, Franklin County and Mexico Beach, where she’s now raising her own little family.
Clients know her for patience, quick answers, and a habit of finding savings other agents missed. Just moved to the coast, bought a second home on the Cape, or watched your renewal jump? Shannon walks you through every option, explains what it means for you, and stays reachable long after the policy is signed, especially when a storm is in the forecast.
She also loves the policies other agents pass on: the river boat, the side-by-side, the golf cart that goes everywhere, the vacation home that’s rented half the year. Because Daffin is an independent agency, she can shop multiple carriers to find coverage that fits.

- Bundle the boat, golf cart and side-by-side that live at the beach house
