I have been in the insurance business for over 35 years. The experience and situations I have encountered are many. When it comes to protecting your Assets, there are many variables which one must consider. Not all policies have the same terms and conditions.

Conditional: vary too. Alarm warranties, Shipping, and packaging, Schedules, Unscheduled, appraisals. Notifications for removal from storage, vaults, when loaned at exhibitions, travel outside the continental USA. reporting form,
Valuations: variables are, Agreed amount, Appraisal value, percentage less sale price, percentage plus consignment, Onus of Proof.

Deductibles: $1,000, 2,500, 5,000, 25,000, 100,000
Payment Plans: Direct Bill< Credit Card, Wire transfer, Check and Cash.

The above are just a few items which are negotiated during the process. I like to speak to all my customers to get a sense of what they situations are and how to protect them from a financial loss.
Not everything is ever covered by a policy, most can be. I have found many different niches which companies give very good policies, service, and prices.
Work with me and you can feel the importance of working with a human who can relate to your Insurance exposures.
