Get More Value

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Nick Reed State Farm Insurance

In today's busy world, filled with concern over the rising cost of gas and housing, many of us look for ways to get greater value for our time and money.  One way you may not have considered is having all your insurance needs taken care of in one place.

There are advantages to having your car, home, and family protected by the same insurance company.  Switching all your policies to one well-respected insurer might save you time and money, not to mention the convenience of having only one number to call for questions or claims. 

Many insurance companies offer a range of discounts that vary by state.  Be sure to ask the agent about the availability and amount of any discounts offered by the insurer.  Here are some common discounts you should know about.

-Multiple Line: Your premiums may be reduced if you have more than one policy with the same company of family of companies that cover you car.

-Good Student: Full time students (high school or higher) maintaining at least a "B" average may qualify for reduced premiums.

-Muliple Car: Your premiums may be reduced if there are two or more private-passenger cars in the household insured by the same company or family of companies.

These are just a few of the discounts that may save you money.  Once you have considered the price, think about the quality of service you expect.  The best value should save you both time and money.  Here are a few things to consider.

-Do you have one person to call when you need help?

-Is the insurer available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?

-Does the insurer make it easy to file a claim?

-Is the insurer available to discuss your needs and help customize a package of services that is best for you and your family?

-Do you feel confident in the insurer's financial stability and ability to pay if your family suffers a loss.

Be sure your getting the most value for your time and money.
