"We offer everyone's favorite boring thing… INSURANCE!"
-Alexandra Eidenberg, President & Founder
Insurance tends to be a topic that many folks and businesses find confusing, overwhelming, and stressful. At The Insurance People, we take an educational approach to help our clients understand, feel confident, and make great decisions for their businesses and families.
We Are Independent.
As independent agents, we don't work for any one insurance company—we offer an array of coverages from numerous insurance carriers. This allows us to focus on providing you with the right amount of insurance and the right type of coverage for your needs.
We Know Insurance.
With a vast knowledge of our many carriers, we are equipped to shop for the best policy to suit your needs. Our job is to help you navigate through the sea of policy options and clarify any questions or concerns you may have along the way.
We Serve You.
We are committed to building quality relationships with our clients through practical solutions and excellent service. Our dedicated staff of insurance professionals is here to assist you in securing the insurance that makes your business and family confident.
