\"Local's<\/p>\n

I get asked by a lot of my homeowners about home insurance in Delaware. \u00a0Obviously, home insurance needs to be in place before you go to settlement as you pre-pay your insurance. \u00a0A lot of ‘my people’ are from out-of-state and their insurance agents will not insure their home at the beach. \u00a0Crazy but true. \u00a0Even at Coastal Club with basement home sites and higher elevation home sites with a lower\u00a0water table, people have trouble. \u00a0THIS IS NOT A CONCERN. \u00a0Down at the beach we have multiple agents with national companies who can and will insure you for your primary or secondary home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back across the pond I never had an actual person whom I knew as my insurance agent. \u00a0It was kind of weird when I came across the pond and needed to get car insurance. \u00a0Back home, I would have just gone on the internet and shopped around. AND, although I went with a national company, I went with a local agent. \u00a0In my thinking, I’m still using local in that sense. \u00a0Does that make sense?<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve used Eric Blondin from State Farm for a number of years now. \u00a0Eric and his team are top notch. \u00a0Located on Route 1, Eric’s office is easy to find and his staff are top notch. \u00a0What I like about having a person I know is that Eric is always on the end of the phone when I need him. \u00a0He knows me. \u00a0I don’t have to give any background information or my last four digits of my social security. \u00a0I have his cell number and have called it a few times for his advice on matters regarding insurance. \u00a0On top of that, I know that I can count on Eric to come out and visit me if I needed a face-to-face or again just to chat about my options. \u00a0It’s that personal touch that allows me to very openly recommend Eric as a top insurance agent at the beach.<\/span><\/p>\n

So true story. We just went on a short journey to Camelback in PA for a weekend. \u00a0I handle all the insurance, bills etc. \u00a0I’m much better at that stuff and the wife is better with homework and getting clothes out for the kids for the next day. \u00a0Got to work to your strengths \ud83d\ude42 So I digress. \u00a0Anyway, we’re on the road, happy as clams, to be giving our children a skiing opportunity. \u00a0Not much skiing in England \ud83d\ude42 Anyway, I digress again. \u00a0I’m checking the car details and ask where the insurance card is. \u00a0Obviously, the wife looks at me and says that\u2019s your job! I was going to turn around and delay the trip but had trust in Eric and his team. \u00a0SO, even though it was a Saturday morning at 6am I emailed Eric and asked if he could email over a copy of the insurance just as a precaution. \u00a0Within the hour I had an email copy. \u00a0I didn’t need it during the journey BUT having it available certainly made the journey for me less stressful. \u00a0It’s great knowing I can trust Eric and his team, whatever the circumstances, to make my life easier. \u00a0You can’t put a price on that level of trust. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So make this part of joining us at the beach easy, and get in touch with Eric and his team:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
