Vernard's been great to work with. My fiance and I have been working with him to organize and get some information as to whats in our best interest with upcoming changes. There wasn't a single point where Vernard made the conversation focused on him or a transaction. He was adamant about listening to us and our concerns. Based on that, he was able to give knowledgeable feedback and information that we didn't consider before.

Auto Insurance

New York requires liability, no-fault, and uninsured motorist coverage before you register a vehicle. We compare rates across carriers to meet those rules and add collision or comprehensive protection that fits how you actually drive.

VIEW MORE

Homeowners Insurance

Mortgage lenders expect coverage that rebuilds your house and replaces belongings after fire, storms, or theft. We tailor dwelling, liability, and loss-of-use limits to your home's real value, so a covered loss never becomes a financial crisis.

VIEW MORE

Renters Insurance

Your landlord's policy covers the building, never your belongings inside it. Renters insurance protects your furniture, electronics, and clothing against theft, fire, and water damage, and adds liability coverage if someone is injured in your apartment or unit.

VIEW MORE

Motorcycle Insurance

Riding season is short in New York, but the risks are real. We arrange coverage for your bike, safety gear, and custom parts, along with liability and uninsured rider protection that keeps you covered on every ride.

VIEW MORE

Boat Insurance

From Saratoga Lake to the Hudson River, boating brings liability and damage risks a homeowners policy will not cover. We insure your vessel, motor, and trailer against collision, theft, and storms across the water and on land.

VIEW MORE

RV Insurance

Whether you own a motorhome or tow a travel trailer, an RV needs both auto and dwelling-style protection. We build coverage for the vehicle, your gear inside, and liability, so weekend trips and long hauls stay worry-free.

VIEW MORE

Umbrella Insurance

One serious lawsuit can exceed the liability limits on your auto or home policy and reach your savings. Umbrella insurance adds a million dollars or more of extra protection, stepping in exactly when your primary coverage runs out.

VIEW MORE

Business Insurance

Every New York business faces its own mix of property, liability, and income risks. We assemble coverage that fits your industry and size, protecting your building, equipment, revenue, and reputation so one bad day does not close your doors.

VIEW MORE

General Liability Insurance

Slip-and-fall claims, damaged client property, and advertising injury lawsuits can hit any company. General liability insurance covers third-party bodily injury and property damage, along with legal defense costs, forming the foundation every New York business should carry.

VIEW MORE

Commercial Auto Insurance

Personal auto policies exclude vehicles used for work. Whether you drive one van or manage a fleet, commercial auto insurance covers your trucks, drivers, and cargo against accidents, liability, and damage while your business is on the road.

VIEW MORE

Commercial Property Insurance

Fire, burst pipes, and theft can wipe out inventory and equipment overnight. Commercial property insurance repairs or replaces your building, tools, furniture, and stock, and can restore lost income while you rebuild after a covered event shuts you down.

VIEW MORE

Workers' Compensation Insurance

New York requires nearly every employer to carry workers' compensation for its staff. This coverage pays medical bills and lost wages when employees are hurt on the job, while shielding your business from injury lawsuits and state penalties.

VIEW MORE

Business Owners Policy (BOP)

A business owner's policy bundles general liability, commercial property, and business interruption coverage into one cost-saving package. It suits many small and mid-size New York businesses, covering common risks while leaving room to add coverages as you grow.

VIEW MORE

Professional Liability Insurance

Advice, designs, and professional services can lead to costly claims of mistakes or negligence. Professional liability insurance, also called errors and omissions coverage, pays defense costs and settlements when a client says your work caused them financial harm.

VIEW MORE

Commercial Umbrella Insurance

When a claim exceeds your general liability or commercial auto limits, your company pays the rest. Commercial umbrella insurance extends those limits by a million dollars or more, protecting business assets from lawsuits that would otherwise threaten your future.

VIEW MORE

Contractor Insurance

Contractors face job-site injuries, property damage, and completed-work claims that general policies alone may not address. We build coverage combining general liability, tools and equipment, and required certificates of insurance, keeping your crew protected and your projects compliant.

VIEW MORE

Life Insurance

The right life policy replaces income, clears debts, and keeps your family's plans intact if you are gone. We compare term and permanent options from multiple carriers, matching coverage to your budget, dependents, and long-term financial goals.

VIEW MORE

Term Life Insurance

Term life offers the most coverage for the lowest cost, protecting your family for a set span of 10 to 30 years. We help you size the death benefit and term length around your mortgage, income, and children's ages.

VIEW MORE

Final Expense Insurance

Funerals and final medical bills can leave loved ones with thousands in unexpected costs. Final expense insurance provides a smaller whole-life benefit designed to cover burial, cremation, and remaining debts, with simplified approval that works well for older applicants.

VIEW MORE

Mortgage Protection Insurance

If you die during your mortgage, your family could struggle to keep the house. Mortgage protection insurance pays a benefit sized to your loan balance, helping loved ones stay in their home without adding the burden of monthly payments.
