Check out this Smart Girl - Auto Insurance commercial from Allstate: April has been a busy month in our insurance agency. The temperatures in Central Virginia have been very up & down. Last night we had a freeze warning- tomorrow we'll expect it to be in the 70s with beautiful weather. Fortunately, all of the intermittent rain has done wonders for the vegetation and grass. A few more weeks and homeowners across Charlottesville will have lush green grass growing in their yards, and flowers blooming in the flowerbeds. Spring weather can be tricky in our area as things will often bloom, then a freeze will happen. You also have to be mindful of de-winterizing around the outside of the house too soon. This time last year- our agency was making plans to relocate to our Hollymead location. It will have been a full year in June. We've enjoyed serving the northern part of Charlottesville/Albemarle County and those family's who recognize the importance of having a l...

Severe wind and storm damage in Central Virginia Today winds picked up in our area and tossed limbs and branches all over. There have been calls coming in reporting downed trees and power outages. Check out this tree's root system just pulled up out of the ground.  It's important to tie down loose items outside and consider more permanent solutions for things like trampolines, carports, and other out-buildings.

Breaking Down Car Insurance Terms and What They Mean: Bodily Injury Liability: Bodily Injury (B.I) is a coverage that is required by law in most states. If you cause an auto accident that injures someone else, your B.I helps pay for their medical expenses and loss of wages due to their injury. This can also help pay for legal fees if you're sued. Property Damage: Will help you pay for damage caused to someone else's belongings. Examples would include another vehicle, mail-box, or guard-rail. Medical Expense: Can help you or passengers in your vehicle pay medical bills & funeral expense if hurt in a car accident. Collision Coverage: Can help you pay to replace or repair your vehicle if it's damage from a collision with another vehicle. It also covers coming in contact with an object, or single vehicle crashes that involve rolling or falling over. In most collision claims you are in the vehicle operating it. Comprehensive Coverage: This coverage is offered to protect d...

Auto insurance blog update written: 12/30/2017 With Charlottesville receiving its first dusting of snow on the last weekend of 2017 - I am reminded of sledding and building snow forts as a kid. We'd often spend all afternoon outside crafting the perfect sled track. Some nights we would stay out late dumping buckets of water of them in hopes of it freezing extra slick by morning. As kid's we don't think of all that can go wrong. It's endless possibilities and excitement with most imagined outcomes being positive ones. As we grow older we become wiser. Learning from experience we gain knowledge that allows us to prepare better against possible misfortune. I really enjoy talking with clients and finding out what their hopes and dreams are for the future. It's often time spent talking about destinations, hobby's, and the quality of life imagined for retirement years. The first step to a successful retirement plan is a vision of desired results. Don't ...
