Sometimes we are asked why we recommend using a local insurance agent rather than selecting insurance over the Internet or from a national source. There are really several reasons:

    1.  As an Independent Insurance Agent, we can recommend to you a "best for you" insurance company. We already know the marketplace, so you don't have to randomly pick from available companies, hoping that you will somehow hit the jackpot. We represent a large variety of companies, each of whom provides their own mix of services and costs. One of them will be "best" for you.

    2. Our staff are professionals. We have, collectively, over 46 years of experience serving the insurance needs of our clients. In addition, we have attended over one hundred seminars and courses dealing with every aspect of personal insurance. Our senior members are Certified Insurance Professionals, and have the CIC and CPCU designations. When you use us to help you determine and select your insurance needs, you have a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips.

    3. We are here to help you when a claim arises. Isn't this really the whole reason for having insurance in the first place? If you have to deal with a long-distance relationship, waiting for the inevitable "Your call is very important to us, so please hold" messages, you may not be pleased with the handling of your claim. We are long-term members of the Northern Nevada community, instantly available to you when you need us. And, as a relatively small agency, we provide personalized service.

    4. We save you money. Our goal is to have as many satisfied repeat customers as possible. We know that if you are not getting the best possible service at the lowest possible cost you will go elsewhere. We don't want that; we want you to choose us. So, we give you the lowest rates we can.
