I’m going to try and give you a couple reasons insurance should be discussed at least once a year in your household. Before I do that, let me tell you how I hope this blog can be beneficial for you and I. Friends, family, and a plethora of salesperson’s (really PC for me) have told me all insurance business is going to be done on the web. Being a mid 30′s somewhat savvy techie geek, I’m already fully aware of this. So, how is a small family owned and operated insurance agency in Boston going to compete with the likes of Geico, Progressive, and State Farm? For starters, if your anything like me you appreciate local business and what it means for the community. Just look at some of the ways we’ve helped out our community:

1. We average $250/month in parking tickets.  How about that contribution to the City of Boston.

Reason for Parking Tickets

2. We have spent all our hard earned dollars enjoying great food and laughs at the Ashmont Grill.

3. We proudly display our “Golden Broom Award” in the office. This award is givien out to a select few who go above and beyond to ensure our sidewalks are clean. Thank you St. Marks Area Main Streets!

While these feats are not front page material for the Dorchester Reporter or Boston Globe, they are mere building blocks for future success. Success which is solely based upon readers like you who choose to do business with a local independent insurance agent who works for YOU. There’s something to be said about the personalized service you receive from the company you choose to do business with. What is personalized service to me? Service that is suited to my needs. I like doing business with friendly energetic people. When I pick up that phone I know the person on the other end. Isn’t that the way it should be? And as many of my friends will tell you, I’m not easy to please. So I fully understand what it takes to provide the level of service to keep you happy. Along the way, I hope we have some fun doing it.

Insurance isn’t sexy. Insurance isn’t fun. Insurance is mandatory. So choose your agent wisely. We provide our clients with the best coverage at the most affordable price. Our niche markets include personal lines Home Insurance, Auto Insurance and small Business Liability and Property insurance. If you own a home & auto in Massachusetts I’m extremely confident you won’t find a better combination of price and service than Yankee Insurance Agency. What’s the worst that can happen? You save 20% on your home and 10% on your auto. If you decide after a year that your expectations weren’t met, you are free to move back to your old company or agent. I’ll even help you find someone.

So why should insurance being talked about once a year?  Just like a yearly physical, everyone needs an Insurance Check-UP.  There are many factors that can change your insurance needs.  A raise in salary, a new child, or home improvements all effect your insurance.  A once a year review will protect your family in the event of a loss.

Welcome to my blog! There will be some insurance posts, some real estate posts, and there will  most definitely be posts about some “Life Lessons” I’ve learned in both my personal and professional daily activities.  So feel free to contact me with any questions/comments/concerns about anything.  Feedback is very important to me.

This is my first attempt at this, I hope you enjoy!
