that your request to a Wasserman Agent will be handled
on a very personal basis, we are not a business who

be added to endless mail lists like other websites who

What are the potential pitfalls of
different property insurance policies, how do some companies
mislead people?
Many people learn hard lessons from natural disasters
or other difficult events. When you work direct with
an insurer it's not always in their best interest to
offer coverage that are likely to cost them money. We
don't want to even suggest that some companies providing
insurance services are dishonest, and many, possibly
most are not at all. However, most businesses focus
on short term generation of profits, often placing that
ahead of long-term customer service interests. Many
people don't learn until it's too late that a particular
type of disaster isn't covered by their policy because
of a hidden clause in the coverage. It's in our interest
to provide you coverage that PAYS OFF should costly
circumstances occur, not to hide clauses in your coverage
that become problems when you thought you were covered.
Most companies won't bother to even ask why you carry
coverage that don't seem material to your needs.
Beyond that, creating real protection
for you means a LOT more than simply calculating a number
based on your initial suggestions. If your insurance
company doesn't do a comprehensive evaluation of your
needs, how can they understand them? Proper insurance
coverage takes a lot into account, your real budget,
your real risks and much more. Only an agent who REALLY
cares will take the time to create a package that covers
you, without costing you more than it should.
What does the Wasserman Agency do
differently?
We look beyond the quote requests to evaluate your
real risks and budget. We make suggestions even ones
that lower the cost of coverage with your benefit in
mind first. We believe that works better for us in the
long run because clients who are well served will bring
additional types of coverage to us, as well as refer
friends and family. We seek to grow our business by
serving our clients interests first. Your Wasserman
Agent will take the time to explain your coverage and
make sure you understand what is covered. We don't like
bad surprises any more than you do, and knowing our
clients on a personal basis, the last thing we want
is to disappoint them.
Why should I fill out your form
immediately?
Our online
quote request form will only take a couple of minutes
to fill out, by doing so we can offer a competitive
proposal to provide more complete and better value coverage
that what you are getting currently. We may call or
email if we have suggestions on how to decrease your
costs or boost your coverage in ways that may be more
appropriate to your circumstances, but we will NEVER
share your email or other contact information and you
won't be contacted by a barrage of sales people around
the country. Once we are hired to be someone's agent
they have a friend in the insurance business who will
work tirelessly to make sure their coverage is current
and appropriate to their needs. You can get started
