Insurance in Rockland, Massachusetts

Rockland is one town over from our office on Whiting Street in Hingham, where we have written insurance since 1979. Not a call center, not a franchise with a South Shore zip code — an independent agency ten minutes up Route 228. If you want to sit down with someone about a policy, call or email and we’ll set a time.

What being independent means for you

We are not tied to one company. We represent a number of carriers, so when your renewal comes in higher than you expected, we can shop it without you starting over somewhere else. A captive agent has one price to offer you. We have several, and we do the comparing.

What we write in Rockland

Home insurance

Rockland’s housing is mostly older single-family homes — capes, colonials and two-families off Union Street and around the old shoe-factory neighborhoods — plus the newer condos and townhouses near Union Point. Older homes bring the questions an online form skips: age of the roof, the wiring and heating, an oil tank in the basement. We know which carriers ask and what they want to see.

Auto insurance

Massachusetts auto is its own world — the state’s rating rules, the Safe Driver Insurance Plan, and the registry paperwork that comes with buying or selling a car. Ask us before you sign anything at a dealership. We will tell you what the policy has to say and what the registry will want.

Condo and renters

Condo owners routinely find out at claim time that the master policy covers less than they assumed. We read the master deed. Renters insurance for an apartment is inexpensive and takes one phone call.

Umbrella

A million dollars of extra liability over your home and auto costs less than most people guess. If you have teenage drivers, a pool, or a boat, ask.

Business insurance

Rockland has a lot of trades and small business: contractors, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, auto shops, restaurants and offices. General liability, property, workers’ compensation, commercial auto, and the certificates of insurance your general contractor wants the same afternoon.

Life insurance

Term and permanent, for young families and for estate planning.

The part people actually call us about

Certificates, ID cards, a lender needing proof of insurance before a closing, a registry form, a claim. The service, not the sale. That is what forty-seven years on the South Shore buys you: we already know your account when you call.
