- Comparing the coverage of different insurers to get you the best rates and conditions in an unbiased manner and making recommendations.
- Searching for opportunities to reduce overall premiums by combining different types of insurance for discounts.
- Explaining premiums, terms, conditions and any small print that you don’t understand.
- Providing administrative follow-up, such as mortgage changes, certificates of insurance.
- Providing advice and revisions at policy renewal or mid-term if material changes are necessary, such as a move or the sale of an asset.
