Press Release
Weichert Insurance Agency Offers Home Buyers Choice, Speed, and Convenience
7/19/2007
MORRIS PLAINS, N.J. – With the closing on his home purchase imminent, a buyer still hadn’t heard back from the major insurer he had contacted for a homeowners policy. Anxiously, he called his Weichert, Realtors® sales associate: Could Weichert help him out?
Immediately, Weichert Insurance Agency, Inc., stepped in, quickly securing the homeowners insurance necessary to protect the buyer’s investment and meet his mortgage lender’s requirement. Thrilled with both the response time and premium, the relieved buyer said, “What Weichert did in under an hour, my first insurance company dragged out for three weeks.”
Helping with insurance needs is something Weichert Insurance Agency has been dependably doing for more than three decades. Whether coordinating with a Weichert sales associate to ensure that homeowners coverage is in place prior to closing, or counseling people on their overall insurance coverage, this affiliate of Weichert, Realtors makes timely, resourceful, and professional service its priority.
As an independent insurance broker, Weichert Insurance Agency represents more than a dozen different insurance carriers. The advantage to the consumer is that Weichert Insurance professionals can comparison-shop those major carriers. This variety of choice helps ensure the most appropriate coverage at the best available cost.
Weichert Insurance is also a full-service agency, which means it can conveniently handle not only homeowners insurance but many other types of insurance as well, often in a cost-saving “package.” Although not available in all states, in those states where it is licensed, Weichert Insurance can provide a range of insurance products, from automobile and life insurance to flood insurance, renters’ insurance, and protection for second homes, investment properties, boats, recreational vehicles, and valuable articles. Excess liability coverage also is offered.
Christopher Oehrle, president of Weichert Insurance Agency, said, “With the exception of a personal aircraft, there is virtually nothing an individual may need to insure that we can’t accommodate.”
Homeowners insurance is one of the “core” one-stop-shopping services of Weichert Gold® Services. This popular program, offered through Weichert Financial Services, was created to provide a time-saving, single source for taking care of just about every need that might arise related to a home purchase or sale. Services include mortgage financing and pre-purchase credit approvals, homeowners’ and title insurance, a home protection plan, moving services, and an expanding array of home-connections services that cover every task from U.S. postal address changes to connecting utilities. Service availability varies by area.
Qualified buyers who take advantage of all three core services – namely, mortgage financing and title insurance, in addition to homeowners insurance – enjoy the peace of mind of a guaranteed closing date. A $5,000 Performance Guarantee is available from Weichert Financial Services to back that commitment. Certain terms and conditions apply.
Stephen Adamo, president of Weichert Financial Services, said, “What started simply as the providing of homeowners insurance today has evolved into one of the most comprehensive and customer-focused one-stop-shopping programs in real estate.”
