Customers at Community Insurance Center, Ltd. are familiar with the personal, professional service at competitive prices from the experienced staff.
Community Insurance is known for being able to custom fit a policy to a customer’s needs.
The full-service agency offers extremely competitive rates largely through two companies, Pioneer State Mutual and Auto-Owners.
Don Harrison, one of Community Insurance’s owners, said the agencies do a fantastic job of holding down prices while still providing excellent service to customers.
‘We have had people come to us for quotes after they received increases of 50 to 100 percent and up to 150 percent on their home and auto renewals,? said Harrison. ‘Our increases have been five to eight percent typically.?
‘Pioneer and Auto-Owners have been able to hold that line.?
Another way Community Insurance is able to offer such competitive prices is through multi-policy discounts, Harrison said.
‘We look at the overall picture of your insurance needs, and how to best package a proposal with the multi-policy discount,? he said.
‘Rather than piecemeal a program between different agencies or companies, we can save you more if the policies are all within one company,? Harrison added.
As an example, Harrison said a customer who has a lot of ‘toys? like snowmobiles, jet skis or recreational vehicles, may do better to place all of their insurance through a company which aggressively competes for recreational vehicle insurance.
If doing business in the Lake Orion area is more convenient for you, don’t forget there is a Community Insurance office there in addition to the one in Oxford.
Harrison said the firm opened an office at 436 S. Broadway in the attractive Lighthouse building over two years ago, to better serve customers south of Oxford and Lake Orion.
Another important change to note is that Community Insurance Center, Ltd. has gone on the Internet. Customers can now make changes to their current policies or get quotes for new policies right on-line.
‘This is something we started midway through the year in 2002,? said Harrison.
Community Insurance, Center, Ltd. has been a fixture in the area since the 1950s.
The company was started by Robert Knauf who had one premise in mind, to service his clients the most professional way he knew how, said Harrison.
‘I still think we work very hard to provide the best possible coverage and I think we do that because we work at the business and keep up with the changes,? he said. ‘We continue our education within the industry to endure that we stay on top of all the changes. I think that’s very important.?
