How we run our business

At Thill-Demerly Agency we listen to each client's requests and help determine each person's needs. We often offer suggestions to improve coverage and value.

Writing insurance is a very complex process. It is crucial to take time and pay significant attention to details - and that is exactly what we do. We consider the possible ramifications of actions. Each company represented has their own appetite for new business, their own underwriting guidelines, requirements and procedures. We match the customer needs to the most appropriate insurance program.

Reports such as Motor Vehicle Reports (MVRs), claims history (C.L.U.E.) and insurance (credit) scores may be run through secure websites and used in the rating process.

An important consideration for many is the multi-policy discount for auto and home insurance. We try to find the best bottom line value, considering price, limits, coverages and deductibles.

We exercise good faith and reasonable diligence to obtain insurance that our customers request. If we are unable to obtain the requested coverage, the applicant is notified in a timely manner.
