Landscaping. . .
Yard work is not on everyone’s list of favorite things to do. That’s why we have gardeners and landscapers. They fix our sprinklers, trim our trees and cut the grass to perfection. Despite the economy, there are a lot of those businesses out there too! It’s time you took a good look at our self-rating program on our website. Go to www.statewide-insurance.com and click on the Rapid Rater logo. There you will find a fast and easy approach to quoting your Artisan Contractors such as landscapers. We even have a class for your Handyman! It’s the most popular item offered by Statewide Insurance and it’s time you gave it a try. It only takes a few minutes to get a quote and you can sell the policy while the insured is at your desk or on the phone. Want one of our genius underwriters to walk you through it for the first time or two? It would be our pleasure! Call any one of your Statewide Commercial Underwriters and they’ll make you a quoting monster! The Statewide Rapid Rater Program: there’s nothing out there like it! (All States)
as it used to be.
Homeowner’s Associations . . .
As we developed communities over the years, we also saw an increase in HOA’s. Evil Empires to some, a welcome necessity to others; Homeowner’s Associations have become a vital part of many home and condominium communities in our states. As with any group, they need property and general liability coverage including D&O coverage. We can insure the common grounds, meeting rooms or clubhouses, parks and playgrounds and more. We live in a very litigious society, as you know, and these organizations need coverage now more than ever. Getting a quote couldn’t be easier. We need the typical GL and Property Apps as they may apply, and you can get a head start on your quote by also completing the Condo/HOA Supplement in our Supplements section of our web page. It’s priced right and in most cases you can get a quote over the phone. There’s LOTS of this business out there, friends. Not many producers chase it, so now is a good time to start contacting your HOA’s! (All States)
I get enough exercise pushing my luck.
Mobile Home Parks?
Yes we can! We have a couple of TERRIFIC programs designed especially for Mobile Home Parks. One of them can be accessed on our Rapid Raters! We can provide coverage for clubhouses, pools, tennis courts and even the park rental units! This is a very well priced and successful program. It works. If it didn’t we wouldn’t mention it here! Want a taste of how good it is? Go to www.statewide-insurance.com , click on the Rapid Raters, go to our Mercantile Program and within a couple minutes you’ve have a rate sitting in your hands you’re sure to sell. Better yet, call Fawn Reed (x917). She’s REALLY good at writing these. She can give you a quick phone quote with BOTH of our programs. Mobile Home Parks are EVERYWHERE. It’s time you got a piece of the pie. We want to serve you that pie. Call us!! (All States)
The Pampered Pooch . . .
It’s no secret that some Americans spend more on their animals then they do on their own children. In America, we have over 163,000,000 dogs and cats in our households. That’s a lot of pets. With that comes the responsibility of taking CARE of those pets. A portion of that care is devoted to pet grooming. If you’ve taken your pet in for grooming lately, you know what a booming business it is. Lots of competition out there which means the need for lots of insurance policies. Statewide has that covered, too! We have a rating program exclusively for pet salons. This includes grooming, kenneling and breeding. Simply fill out a GL and Property App and send it to a commercial underwriter, or give them a quick call and get a quote over the phone. Either way, we’ll make you the King or Queen of the Animal Kingdom. (All States)
Buy a dog a toy and it will play with it forever. Buy a cat a toy and it’ll play with the wrapper for 10 minutes.
