Came here almost 4 years ago to set up a homeowners insurance policy and perhaps to bundle auto…read moreinsurance as well. The lady who I worked with Judy was nice enough at the time. I set up a HO insurance policy with Cumberland, the auto rates she was trying to get me were not competitive at all and were very overpriced. She was super judge-y and pushy when I politely declined the auto insurance but regardless of that I just went with a homeowner's policy instead of bundling... I've had several issues over the years, first my HO policy went up every year despite the fact that I've never once put in a claim. When I tried to call Cumberland they literally would not speak to me: told me I had to go through Schumacher for any issues and they cannot talk to me. Annoying but whatever... I get in contact with a woman named Leslie because, according to Leslie Judy couldn't help me (? Weird) then Leslie gives me a whole rigmarole about why my rate increases. She claims that Suddenly Cumberland is telling me I'm under insured after having been with the company for two years: the company raised my amount for what my house is worth to almost $200,000 more and raised my rate which is shady as fuck. Finally after a million phone calls Leslie told me the company made a mistake and lowered my rate. Shady as fuck all around... Now I decided, since my Cumberland policy was increasing yet again without filing a claim, to look elsewhere. I called NJM insurance and got an amazing rate (almost $200 less than my rate) which was on par with my current HO policy. I called to talk to someone about canceling my policy with Cumberland and lo and behold Judy can now help me. So I tell her I want to cancel and she keeps me on the phone for twenty minutes trying to change my mind and tell me that NJM is not a good company and that I'm making a mistake, she offered to find more competitive rates and to bundle my auto insurance policy. I told her I was going to switch and made my mind up. She emailed a cancellation form, I emailed it back with my signature and she needs my new declaration page to see if it's "worth it for me" to switch to NJM. I just want to be fucking done with this company and their bullshit and I'm somehow still getting suckered into having another conversation with this woman who was completely unhelpful when I was having a host of issues a few years ago. Where were you then? Seriously I just can't wait to be done with this place and to have a new policy that won't raise my rates constantly and not be able to speak to the company who i have my policy with! Just so stupid and inconvenient. I will never go through a broker again, especially not this company. Yes it might be "convenient" to have someone do the work for you but when I cannot even speak directly to the company that is insuring me I have a real issue with that. Beware and look elsewhere.

I have been with Schumacher Ins. Agency for over 10 years. They never disappoint! One thing I love…read moreabout Schumacher is that each year, they will call me when I can get better insurance rates from a different provider. As a broker, Schumacher goes above & beyond. Specifically, Getine Taylor (and the rest of the team as well) - Getine is always friendly, willing to share knowledge that is in my best interest, professional, and FAST. Her promptness when taking care of me has me spoiled as a customer and raises the bar of excellent client relations for other companies I deal with. Keep up the great work!

Avoid unless you want to overpay for the owner's trips to Paris. I KNOW that Travelers has a much cheaper line of products for the SAME EXACT coverage and I know it. So when this reply tries to say that Scarsdale customers want to overpay for identical Travelers Insurance coverage because Advocate understands the needs of "successful" Scarsdale customers that is false. They don't offer a better price until customers say they want to leave Advocate! Stay far away imho! Too late smart. Could have saved thousands. Garbage! Stay away. Use Farmers or Allstate. Save money!

We needed home owners insurance but weren't sure where to start. I reached out to William for a…read moreconsultation and he made the entire process quick and easy. What sets him apart from other agents and his company from other agencies is that they're professional but also personable. William took the time to listen and understand our concerns in order to help us find the right coverage. He walked us through all of our options and even explained the technicality behind certain insurance policies. We were offered a comprehensive selection of plans and were able to select an affordable, personalized one that suit our needs. William was also never pushy about a product either. He was always honest about his suggestions and actually explained the differences in quality between policies with regards to his work/experience with the companies. What I also found extremely helpful was that he gives a presentation explaining the insurance process, terms of coverage, and compares your existing quotes with his recommended insurance plan. The best part is, he is reliable and responds to everything in a timely manner. William also made himself available when we had a last minute, urgent request and got everything to us quick. I highly recommend his services.
