Let Me Know When You’re Going to Retire

Let me know when you’re going to retire because that’s when I’m going to sell my buildings.

Exemplary Customer Service

I want to apologize again for moving these [policies] last year. The few dollars we saved was in no way worth the excellent service you always provided. Your customer service was exemplary. We look forward to working with you again and will refer all our business your way.

Personal Service

One thing that sets Stu Cohen apart is the fact that I met him personally. I never met any of these other brokers I’ve been doing business with in real estate. That’s the biggest difference—the personal service that he normally gives.

Far Above Expectations

As a long-time customer, I have never had the kind of service from an insurance agency as I have from your personnel. They are industrious, knowledgeable and have gone far above any expectations someone would have, all in a professional and congenial manner. There aren’t enough superlatives to adequately describe your office and the people who work there.

A Great Asset

I hope you know how fortunate you are as a business owner to have Angela as your employee. She is beyond excellent. She is superb, outstanding, efficient, honest, and on the ball. If only everybody would do their jobs as well. She is a great asset.

A $12,000 Difference

I have been a customer of Somers Agency for at least 9 years. Their customer service is outstanding, and my policy was written correctly. Less than a month ago, I totaled my SUV. Thank God I was not hurt, and my insurance policy included Premier New Car Replacement. Because Diana had included this coverage, the insurance company gave me the value of a new car
vs. what my three-year-old card was worth, a difference of $12,000. I am so thankful that I chose an agency that knew what they were doing AND had my best interests in mind.

Works with People Like Me

The bigger insurance companies will give their attention to somebody who’s got 200 units. So a guy like me, they’re just going to ship the policy out. Stu works with people like me, so he can delve deeper… Other people say, "I like my broker, and I send him a check." But Stu is better for me because we can really hash it out over a day or two.

Better Price, Same Coverage

Thank you very, very much for the great deal. When we learned our insurer was abandoning the market, the immediate thought was “big increase.” Instead, we are getting a much better price for the same coverage. Excellent!

Consistent Pricing

Stu gave us good premiums, good coverage, and he was able to sit down and tell me what coverage I needed and what I didn’t. We’ve been with Stu for three years now, and pricing has remained consistent. I’ve saved at least 20%. I’m very happy with Stu, and I told him he can’t retire.
