SOCIAL PROOF

"This summer (2024), I went looking for a new business insurance agent because my previous agency of over a decade had some turnover and then got too busy to help me with my renewals. It was serendipitous to find you and your company! I am so impressed at how much dedication and time you’ve put into understanding my business, the type of exposure, and Liberty Mutual coverage. I’m confident now that when the new policy is written, it’ll be the right coverage at a fair price. Having an agent that cares and understands is my bonus!

"First, let me say that I run a very unique business, and finding an affordable policy was nearly impossible. I am very grateful to Ed because he took the time to answer all of my questions. Trust me when I say I am known for asking many questions... We had a potential claim about five months after we got our policy. Ed was there every step of the way to guide me through the process. He was just as responsive to my inquiries as a client as a potential client. I'd recommend Specialty based on the high quality of service. "

"Ed has been extremely helpful in securing insurance for our business. We had previously worked with a local broker who had mistakingly underinsured us - we found out about this oversight when our store burnt down, and our insurance let us know we would only be covered if we had been at fault for the fire.
We're now fully insured - while the odds of having two stores burn down are probably pretty low, it feels good knowing that Ed has made certain that we're fully covered!"
