Her Story

About Elizabeth

I've dedicated 30 years to the commercial insurance industry, with the last 20 years serving as an account executive. I started at the bottom as an assistant and worked my way up through hands-on learning and commitment to understanding every aspect of the business. What I do is help business clients with everything from A to Z - whether it's servicing issues, coverage questions, billing problems, or finding the right policy for their specific needs. Commercial insurance is very broad and depends entirely on what type of business you have. An accountant needs different coverage than a hair salon, and a restaurant owner has completely different requirements than a contractor. The beauty of being in this business for so long is that I know who to approach and where to go to get the right quote for the right client, depending on the nature of their business. I understand the appetite of different insurance carriers and which companies write which types of businesses. It's not just about finding the cheapest price - it's about reviewing the forms and making sure clients have the right coverage. For example, I recently helped a friend with a cafe and found her better coverage with windstorm protection included for less money than she was paying, while her current policy excluded windstorm. That's the kind of expertise that only comes with time and experience in this field.
