“I’ve had my insurance with Derek and Owen for over 15 years. They provide competitive rates and excellent customer service. They are always available to assist, even after hours. I’ve called their cell on a Saturday morning when I had questions and needed help with a claim. They walked me through the whole process and made me feel very at ease. I would recommend their services to anyone!”

Some reasons to use an insurance broker include:

  • Insurance Brokers help you find insurance companies and policies that suit your needs and budget.
  • Brokers have access to numerous insurance companies, and can offer you several different options for coverages and price.
  • Brokers are licensed and educated professionals who provide the advice you need to help you make the best choice.
  • An insurance broker acts as your advocate in the event of a claims situation. 

Insurance brokers work for their customers, whether they are individuals or businesses. They research the market for coverage options, share those options with their clients, and then help them apply for and purchase coverage from insurance companies.  Brokers also shop renewals amongst all the companies they have access to each year. They can also help assess risks and provide claims assistance.

We work with many different insurance companies and each company offers a variety of different payment options. Some of these options include monthly pay plans, 3 pay plans, payment in full, credit card payment, Interac E-transfer, and online payments. Let us know which plan works for you and we will help you find a solution.
