Are you
confused
by the new Auto
Insurance Competition?
We're Not! |
|
· Six
of our staff members have attended 18 hours of seminars to
understand the new world of Competitive Auto Insurance.
· We
have dramatically increased the number of companies we
represent that write MA personal auto insurance.
· In
most cases good drivers will pay lower
Auto
insurance premiums in the new system. However, that is only
part of the story. Now, new
Homeowners
insurance credits make it more cost effective than ever to
do business with one agent.
· Competitive
pricing is important but it’s not the only thing that’s kept
us in business for more than 125 years. We pride
ourselves in offering sound insurance advice with the best
service possible.
If you are
already an Elliot Whittier client, we sincerely thank you
for your business. If you are not, please ask us to
critique your current personal insurance program. Email,
fax or drop off your
Auto
and
Homeowners
(Renters
or
Condo)
so that we can be sure that you are getting the maximum
savings.
There
is a very good chance you’ll be glad you did.
