HOMEOWNERS

Your home is perhaps your most valuable asset. Get the advice you need to make sure you are properly protected and not surprised in the event of a claim. While many view homeowners' coverage as a commodity, the fact is that not all policies are the same. For example, many insurers have abandoned guaranteed replacement cost coverage, the provision that insures your house will be rebuilt following a total loss, regardless of your limits or cost. We will advise you on this issue and all others. You will want an agent who can explain the policy limits for jewelry, furs, and other valuables and who create opportunities to broaden these coverages if needed, before a loss. Come to TIS for true individualized counseling so that you can rest easier knowing that your property is properly covered.

AUTOMOBILE

Do you have sufficient automobile liability limits? Will you be protected against liability claims in the event you are involved in an at-fault accident? At TIS, we want to make sure you understand the answers to these questions so that you can select the liability limits right for your financial situation. Additionally, we will advise you on other issues such as whether you need to purchase liability coverage when you rent a car and which deductibles are the most cost-efficient. Our experts will advise you on the most effective and suitable ways to manage these risks.

LIFE

We profit, and our clients profit, from long term relationships. That is why, at TIS, we take a unique approach to your life insurance and other financial service needs. We invest in understanding your unique situation, and we make our recommendations based upon your specific needs and those of your family. We do not believe that maintaining your trust over the long term can be accomplished by high pressure selling techniques. Rather, we believe that the secret to maintaining long-term relationships is thoroughly analyzing your need, searching the marketplace for the product best meeting that need, and responding to your requests in a timely and accurate way. Experience what makes dealing with TIS for life insurance and other financial service needs unique.

VALUABLE ARTICLES

Did you know that your homeowner’s policy places limits on jewelry, furs, fine arts, firearms, and other valuable items? Frequently, these items go underinsured. Allow your TIS broker to help you properly protect your valuable items. The time of loss is not the time to discover that you don’t have adequate coverage for your most precious collections and other high value items.

WATERCRAFT

The increased popularity of water sports and personal watercraft make liability coverage more challenging. TIS Insurance Services has the right relationships to secure the coverage you need to protect yourself and your marine assets.
