Although Community Insurance Center, Ltd. has had some changes in the last couple of years, they continue to offer their clients the same competitive rates and personal protection as in the past.
Today, Community Insurance Center, who’s office is located at 90 S. Washington St., is one of the largest insurance agencies in Northern Oakland County.
Recently, they picked up Frankenmeuth Mutual Insurance is a new addition to the center’s family.
‘One of the reasons we wanted to pick them up is they have a fantastic builders program for contractors, heating/cooling guys, plumbers, basically anybody in the construction field,? said Don Harrison, who co-owns the center with Robert Knauf. ‘They have one of the better programs.?
Long-standing relationships with Michigan-based companies like Employers Mutual, Allied Insurance, AutoOwners and Pioneer State Mutal help Community Insurance Center offer the best rates.
‘If one company has a significant increase, we can look at one of the other companies to help off-set that increase and perhaps reduce the premium,? Harrison explained.
Recently, the Michigan Association of Insurance Agents (MAIA) did a poll of all independent agents ranking the Top 10 independent insurance companies in Michigan. Three that Community Insurance represents are in the Top 10 for claims service, pricing and servicing of accounts.
‘We feel fortunate to be able to represent those different companies,? Harrison said.
Community Insurance Center is a full service insurance agency that offers commercial, homeowners, automobile, health and life insurance. Harrison said they even do some higher-risk types of coverage, like pollution liability.
About 60 percent of Community Insurance Center’s clients purchase personal insurance, while 40 percent includes commercial insurance.
Personal insurance includes homeowners, automobile, watercraft, motorcycle, rental property, valuable items, antiques, jewelry, collectors items, recreational vehicles, umbrella liability and flood.
Commercial insurance includes property liability, crime, garage keepers, liquor liability, professional liability, automotive, tools and equipment, motor cargo, builders risk and bonds.
Harrison said Community Insurance Center is dedicated to working with Michigan-based companies because they ‘recognize what is going on? in the area better than larger east coast companies.
‘They can respond a lot quicker to the market conditions and their pricing is usually below and more favorable,? he said. ‘They’re not dealing with hurricanes in Louisiana or Florida or the wild fires in California.?
