Flexibility and Advocacy
are Two Primary Reasons to Choose the Farmers
Insurance Group and Seitz Insurance Agency!
In our association with The Farmer's Insurance
Group we have unique advantages that many companies
and agents don't. First, we have direct access
to our policy Underwriters. The Underwriter
is the person in each insurance company who determines
whether a potential insured is eligible for coverage
based on the policy being written. They are tasked
with determining risk, rates, and what items or
circumstances will be covered or excluded in the
policy language. At the "cookie cutter" companies,
whether represented by phone, computer, or agent,
the person you buy insurance from often has no
input in policy underwriting decisions. It's pretty
much a "take what you get" situation. At the Seitz
Insurance Agency, we are able to represent your
best interests and become an advocate for special
consideration of your unique needs.
When we demonstrate a reasonable
risk assessment to the Underwriter, we are often
able to support your insurability and extend coverage
where others will not.
Next, as agents for The Farmers Group we are
not "captive" as most other single line agents
are. Our agreement with Farmers allows us to find
other policy providers when necessary. As a result,
our clients win. You will not have to worry about
searching the entire insurance field for that
unusual coverage…we do that for you.
In addition, our claims process will help you
expedite the situation, keep the stress to a minimum
and get you paid in accordance with the terms
of the policy. And unlike many direct insurance
carriers that use "independent" claims professionals,
our claims department is in-house. This allows
us to develop relationships with the adjusters
that handle your claim, rather than work with
"independent" or "unknown" subcontractors. More
importantly, the consumer who has little to no
experience in claims handling and management can
be seriously disadvantaged. That's why we work
with you to ensure that the necessary information
is presented as thoroughly and as quickly as possible.
This will result in a prompt and accurate claims
settlement.
Unfortunately, when evaluating
a potential insurance provider, the client doesn't
take these sorts of "customer centered" conditions
into consideration.
Why? Because most people never have to "test"
their insurance provider by placing a claim. However,
when you do make a claim or have a unique coverage
condition, the value of this level of service
and flexibility become very clear. These important
aspects of customer care and commitment are why
we're affiliated with Farmers Insurance.
