Insurance Marketplace - To Bid or Not to Bid

Over the past 6 months, I have written often on the competitive market that is now insurance. If you have not bid your insurance for a few years, now is the time. In most cases, not bidding your insurance now will result in higher premiums and coverage that is not as broad as it could be.

My booklet, "How to Bid Your Insurance," is now available for sale, or download it here for free.


Search Feature

I have just finished implementing a site search feature for my websites and blog. I figured now that I have more than 1,000 articles, definitions, posts, newsletters, white papers, and ebooks, I had to make it easier for visitors to find what they were looking for on my website.

Life In Maine and Other Stuff

The Lobster Festival is in a few weeks in Rockand (about 2 hours north). It's one of my favorite days each year. My wife and I usually take the tourist train up and back. In between we eat everything unhealthy we can find on the festival grounds.

Tons of birds this year in the back yard and at the feeders. Here's a video of the bird's nest under my deck.


Do You Have the Right Insurance?

Contact me to discuss an unbiased review of your insurance program. Do you have the right coverage? Can your policies be fine-tuned to improve the protection? Can changes be made to ease the administrative burden insurance causes? Are you getting the service you should from your broker? I can help. Remember, I don't sell insurance so I'm unbiased.
