Liberty Mutual has recently introduced Comparion agency within 2022, and has shifted into having a broker mentality with well over fourteen carriers such as Travelers, Progressive, Hagerty and more. The company also brings in new carriers often. This major change within Liberty Mutual has given the company a competitive edge and has made the company able to offer existing and new clients more coverage and better rates with a pallet of carriers. Home, auto, life, pet, and commercial insurance along with annuities are all offered by Comparion, a Liberty Mutual owned establishment. Their services also include insurance for items like your boat, classic car, camper, etc. Nichole Goodman, Comparion/Liberty Mutual agent, took her position around two years ago, assisting and protecting existing clients along with taking on new ones. The previous local agent served Chautauqua County, Cattaraugus County, Ellicottville, etc., for over forty years, and when retired, left a five-year void of a local Liberty Mutual representative within the area. Luckily, Ms. Goodman has been able to cover the footpath. “Policy reviews are important to have at whatever phase you are in with your insurance journey. They do not take long and have no obligation attached”. Goodman states these words in a recent interview in hopes to inform the community about policy reviews and taking the right steps towards efficient insurance. A policy review consists of taking a look at your insurance portfolio and your coverage that you have in place. Do you know what your coverage is? This is a question that your local Comparion agent will be able to answer for you. The ultimate goal at Comparion, the Liberty Mutual owned company, is not only to provide excellent customer service but also ensure that their customers are provided with a level of protection that meets their needs. The objective is for the agent to shop all carriers, for the clientele to find their best fit.
Comparion has no targeted audience and is readily available to help everyone with their insurance needs. “With a pallet of carriers, we can help anyone” –Nichole Goodman, agent. The company has high hopes to give back to the local community through their services, and at a growing pace. Comparion-Liberty Mutual has future plans to expand their team within the local area and are currently searching for real estate to open an office so that more in person contact with clients and agents can transpire.
The local agent for the returning company, Nichole Goodman, gave some incredible insight on what to expect in the future and why we should all care about receiving good quality insurance. The agent explained how her perception of insurance has been changed indefinitely by getting into the business. Before joining the industry, she had no idea how important and crucial policy review is along with being aware of what policies you are taking on. Goodman and the agency feel that making a sale isn’t nearly as important as educating people on their coverage. Not only is the company strong on making their clients aware of what they are paying for, they are also strong on keeping steady moral values. “Truly, I feel the moral compass of Liberty Mutual exemplifies the model that every company should. I never have found a company, in my experience, that has found such importance in work-life balance. They have such a strong focus on family, community, and giving back”. This statement alone from local Nichole Goodman is enough to urge anyone to look into Comparion and what it has to offer.
We can all agree that sometimes the bill comes, and we just pay it. Staying informed on the functions of our coverage rather than just paying our bill needs to become the new norm. This way, we can all know that we are getting the most efficient coverage for as little payment as possible. In difficult times, you can count on Comparion to take one thing off of your plate.
