Time for Boating, Barbecues and … Insurance?

It is Labor Day once again. People are heading out to their favorite spots for soaking in the sun and doing their favorite end of summer activities.

For Jim Johnson, however, it is also the time for people to check their insurance policies. For example, water sports enthusiasts are likely to “pull the boat out of the garage. They will need to take a look at their boat policy to make sure that it is up to date and enforced,” said Johnson, co-owner of Johnson Kriste & Daily Insurance Agency and Brokers.

Before hitting the road, people should check their insurance policies.

Johnson Kriste & Daily Insurance Agency and Brokers is a brokerage firm that offers a wide range of automobile insurance plans to clients in the La Canada region. “We offer insurance for personal needs, such as automobile, home, and health. We also offer business insurance, fire insurance, liability insurance, workers’ compensation, and group health insurance,” added Johnson.

Johnson Kriste & Daily Insurance Agency and Brokers helps clients by taking care of the different aspects of insurance. This way, the client only needs to deal with one broker that handles the client’s and his family’s insurance needs, although they may buy insurance policies from different insurance companies.

Also, Johnson’s insurance agency helps clients find the right insurance company that offers lowest rates with the most solid coverage. Usually, Johnson and his partners take care of their clients’ personal and business insurance needs at the same time.

“Most of our clients are business owners, professionals, or one sort or another in this community,” said Johnson. These clients are always hard pressed for time, because they are overseeing, managing a lot of things going on. They need help in taking care of things, including their insurance policies.

“They need someone that they can call. Just one phone number, one person that helps them take care of all those risks,” said Johnson.

Johnson Kriste & Daily Insurance Agency and Brokers makes the most of technology. Johnson and his partners use email and mobile phones to stay in touch with their clients. “Our clients have our cellphone numbers, and that is how we respond to them,” added Johnson.

According to Johnson, clients would sometimes call and say, “Jim I have this little boat. I am thinking of letting my kids drive it. What is my coverage for that?”

In a world without email and mobile phones, things were rather different. “It used to be if our office was closed, they couldn’t get a hold of us,” said Johnson. Today, however, clients can send a text message to their insurance agents, and “we will try to call them back,” said Johnson.

“Many of our clients are long-time friends and friends of friends. That is how our business grows,” said Johnson. “And our clients feel a lot better that they can contact us when they need us.”

“We try to be an adviser, and let them know we are there whenever they need us,” added Johnson.
