You probably have questions regarding how Farmers is weathering this storm and if you have any need for worry.  The short answer is no.  And with the right insurance in place, from a stable, financially strong company, you can be assured that you and your family can make it through difficult times.

Founded in 1928 and currently operating in 41 states, Farmers is one of America’s most recognized insurance brands.  We have a customer reach of more than 10 million households and while it is true that every major business is or will be affected by these events, Farmers and our Exchanges are working in these difficult times from a position of strength:

• Farmers is now the fastest-growing major multi-lines insurance carrier in America with over $15 billion dollars of written premium
• Farmers has more than 20,000 Employees and more than 14,400 exclusive agents

Our operational excellence combined with our financial discipline has prepared Farmers to weather the current storms. You can count on the ongoing strength of our company and have the confidence and peace of mind that comes with knowing that my agency, and the Farmers companies are going to be there for you, now and in the future

What can I do for you?

     I know, for most people, insurance is a hassle.  They either:  a) don't understand insurance coverages (or the insurance "language"), or b) they don't care about what coverages they have, as long as they can drive legally, and it's cheap.

     My job is to help you understand, and to show you why you should care about what coverages are available.  That is why I involve my clients in the decision-making process.  Insurance is not supposed to be cheap - it's supposed to be a good value!
