Don't Be Your Own Agent

I am my own agent. But I've been doing this for over 20 years. For most people it's just not a good idea. We've had signs up outside for years that say ‘Save money, get a quote’ -it's that simple. A few days ago, a woman who drives by all the time on her way to work got her notice of renewal on her home insurance, and she noticed the steep increase. She decided to give us a call and ask if we could help her try to save money and we said, sure we can.

So, one of the first questions we ask: 'who you are currently with' because we may be contracted with them, we may not, but we do have experience with all the carriers. we understand what they're doing currently in the market, what they've done in the past, and what direction they may be heading. It’s an opportunity for us to identify the cause of the problem you're having, is it the company, is it the agent or agency, or is it just the fact that everyone's rates are going up? In this case, there was something very specific. She got her own home and auto insurance online through two different websites. We're very familiar with all these Online Only insurance carriers too and the problem is that when most people do their own insurance online it doesn't always work out the way they want it to. it's possible to go online and we’ve seen it before, build your own insurance plan and walk away paying for coverage, meanwhile, you're not covered if you have an accident or if something does go wrong and you are not walking away from the financial responsibility of a catastrophic loss. Because you are not covered the way you should be covered.

We were we able to put all her coverage with one company and save her so much money compared to what she was paying. She now has a million-dollar Umbrella policy, an H07 Premiere Home policy -one of the best home policies you can have with up to 150% replacement coverage. Her auto policy includes new car replacement coverage, which is up to 120% of the market value. All of this is above and beyond what most people have and what we can offer most people. It’s more than I have! She just has great credit, a great driving history and no claims on her record. All these things added up to a big win for her. We took the checkered flag and crossed the finish line saving her close to $800 a year with incredible increases in her coverage.

This is another case of she didn't know who her agent was, well she did, she was her agent, but that was the problem in this case. And you know, the only thing that we regret in all of this is thinking about all of the other people who've been driving by for years who haven't called yet, and how much money we might be able to save them. Don't be one of those people give us a call and start saving money now.

Auto and Home Insurance is going up nationally and especially in New York State. If you have a lapse in auto insurance coverage it will be extremely difficult to secure affordable coverage and in some cases any coverage at all. Most insurance companies require you to have current insurance in place before switching to another carrier. If you do not currently have insurance, you will be denied by most companies.

How did this happen? There are a lot of answers, but the main reason is cost effectiveness. Insurance companies lose money from bad risks and the less bad risks they insure – the more profitable they are. You will be seen as a bad risk if you do not currently have insurance coverage for the last year or two. Some insurance carriers will charge a higher premium if your coverage was cancelled or lapsed. That is if they can underwrite you at all.

If you get a cancellation notice from your insurance company, Do Not Ignore this Letter!!! Your best option is to try to keep your existing coverage. Contact them and ask if you can stay by making a payment (and late fee if any). Your immediate next step is to start looking for other coverage. Remember you need to have coverage in order to change your coverage.

What Does Joe Namath Know About Your Benefits?

If You Guessed ‘nothing’ then you are correct! Insurance is confusing enough without former athletes and stars advising us about our benefits. Regardless of what type of insurance you have - the television commercials always promote the slightest possibilities to the widest audience. A call center operator cannot appreciate your personal needs after spending minutes on the phone with you.

Eastway Insurance Agency has been an Independent, Family Owned, Local Agency since 1983. We do not advertise on television or in the newspaper and most of our clients are referrals. We do not charge to review your insurance and we do not receive a commission for advising you. It costs you nothing to review your coverage with us and you could potentially save money with the knowledge you gain. Everyone is different and every plan does not fit everybody. Let’s talk about what works for you!

I had a catastrophic injury to my cervical spine and donor bone is the reason I can walk and talk today. Without the Gift of Life, I would have been a quadriplegic on a ventilator.

Eastway Insurance Agency, Inc.

What makes us unique is simply being honest. We approach each client, situation, question, problem, issue and each new day with complete honesty. We sit down with people to go over their needs, situation and their issues. We answer their questions in a relaxed atmosphere where the pressure to buy is replaced with the opportunity to learn. This is our niche and why we have been in business for over thirty years: as time goes on just being honest is becoming rare.

Most know that nothing is free and if it says it's free there is a cost somewhere along the line. Some people like to put a spin on things to make them sound better. Some companies offer free gifts to ‘sign up’ with them. True Personal Service is the only free gift our Agents offer.

Our Agents can come and visit you for free and provide you an opportunity to voice your thoughts and ask questions. The only cost is if you decide to purchase a policy and the cost of that policy will not change because you purchased it through us. The only thing that does change is this: if and when you have a question, or a problem, or a claim, or an issue, you will have us to call to get an honest answer from.
