We have partnered with Burstad Insurance from Menomonie WI. This is fantastic news and a tremendous opportunity for all our clients. As you know, the insurance industry has been a rough go the last few years. Most companies have taken heavy losses caused by several factors:
Increased labor and material costs
Supply chain issues on things needed for home and auto repairs
Finding people to fill positions
This coupled with heavy inflation rates has left insurance companies facing much larger costs than normal, which of course translate into higher rates for you and me.
Many companies have also imposed some pretty harsh temporary underwriting rules making it very difficult to freely move to another company.
By teaming up with a very good friend, whom I have known for many years, we can help each other out by sharing precious resources. Things like:
Management system and rater costs
E&O insurance
Staffing and phone expense
In addition it will give us access to additional companies which will make us even more cost competitive in the future.
We will keep you up to date with any changes and our progress as things continue to develop. Rest assured this will be completely seamless for you. All of our contact info, email, phone, and website will all be unchanged.
In this change we will also be going to a work from home environment.
WE WILL BE CLOSING THE OFFICE ON DECEMBER 19TH !!!!!!!
