Testimonials & Reviews

As a business owner for over 25 years, I offer the following as my reasoning for choosing Demulling Slama Insurance of The Smith, Sawyer, Smith Agency for my insurance needs.

First and foremost is "Trust." Any business decisions that I make must involve trust in those with whom I deal. Brett Slama was my insurance representative before I decided to switch insurance carriers, during which I had one of only two claims in my years in business. Brett was very supportive and ultimately responsible for my complete satisfaction in the settlement of the claim.

As I contemplated switching, however, I had concerns regarding "rental," as it appeared that my prior carrier specialized in rental programs. Only when Brett assured me that the coverage was similar and quite possibly superior did that barrier disappear.

I had experienced another issue with my previous carrier regarding a storage building that we had purchased across from our retail location. The inventory within was covered, but not the building. Not an issue currently, and we have since purchased another facility offsite, which was no problem as well.

And, last but not least; cost. Without getting into details, I will suggest that there are substantial savings, as I now have three buildings insured, increased my equipment and inventory by over 50%, added two vehicles, and saw only a modest cost increase.

Thus my logic for switching carriers; a decision that I did not take lightly.

Our company has been working with Brett for just a little over a year, and in that short period, he has gone out of his way to not only facilitate our insurance needs but help us grow our business much like a partner would. A referral wouldn't do him the justice his company deserves.

When it came time to perform our worker's compensation audit for the previous year, Brett offered to help us prepare and participate in the review. He was able to find errors in payroll and classifications that our other broker never found. Because of this, we were able to recuperate a large number of our premiums.

Smith, Sawyer & Smith Inc. was also able to enhance our executive liability coverage (D&O/EPLI). They play an active role in our safety program and participate in safety meetings. The level of service from Smith, Sawyer & Smith Inc. has gone above and beyond our expectations.
