Auto Insurance

Protection on the road

Comprehensive coverage for your vehicles, from liability to collision and beyond.

Delaware requires minimum auto liability limits of 25/50/10, meaning $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $10,000 for property damage. Pennsylvania requires 15/30/5, while New Jersey mandates 35/70/25 (Standard policy, effective January 1, 2026; Basic policy remains an option) with additional Personal Injury Protection (PIP). Maryland requires 30/60/15. These are legal minimums, and we typically recommend higher limits to protect your assets. We compare rates from our appointed carriers to find the right balance of coverage and cost. Whether you need standard coverage, SR-22 filings, or high-value vehicle protection, we build a policy that fits your situation. Virginia requires minimum auto liability limits of 50/100/25 ($50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage) for policies effective on or after January 1, 2025.

Homeowners Insurance

Your castle, protected

Safeguard your home, belongings, and liability with tailored coverage.

Homeowners insurance covers your dwelling, personal property, liability, and additional living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable. In the Mid-Atlantic region, we pay special attention to risks like wind damage along the Delaware coast, water damage from heavy rainfall in Pennsylvania, and flood exposure in low-lying areas of New Jersey and Maryland. Standard homeowners policies typically exclude flood damage, which requires a separate policy through FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program or private flood carriers. We work with our appointed carriers to find policies that match your home's replacement cost, location risks, and personal property needs.

Renters Insurance

Coverage for your space

Affordable protection for your belongings and personal liability.

Renters insurance is one of the most affordable and overlooked types of personal coverage. For as little as $15 to $30 per month, renters insurance protects your personal belongings against theft, fire, and certain types of water damage. It also provides personal liability coverage if someone is injured in your apartment and covers additional living expenses if you need to temporarily relocate. Whether you rent an apartment in Wilmington, a row home in Philadelphia, a condo in Cherry Hill, or a townhouse in Baltimore, renters insurance provides essential protection that your landlord's policy does not cover. Your landlord's insurance protects the building, not your belongings.

Life Insurance

Secure their future

Term and whole life options to protect your family's financial wellbeing.

Life insurance ensures your family maintains their standard of living if something happens to you. Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period, typically 10, 20, or 30 years, and is the most affordable option for most families. Whole life and universal life policies build cash value over time and provide permanent coverage. We work with our appointed carriers to find policies that match your family's needs and budget. A common guideline is to carry 10 to 12 times your annual income in life insurance, but the right amount depends on your mortgage, children's education plans, outstanding debts, and your spouse's income.

Umbrella Insurance

Extended protection

Extra liability coverage beyond your auto and home policy limits.

An umbrella policy provides an additional layer of liability protection above your auto and homeowners policy limits. Umbrella coverage typically starts at $1 million and can extend to $5 million or more. If you are involved in a serious auto accident or someone is injured on your property and the damages exceed your underlying policy limits, your umbrella policy covers the difference. This is especially important for families with significant assets, rental properties, teenage drivers, swimming pools, or dogs. Umbrella insurance is surprisingly affordable, often $200 to $400 per year for $1 million in coverage, making it one of the best values in personal insurance.

Valuables & Specialty

Protect what's precious

Specialized coverage for jewelry, art, collectibles, and high-value items.

Standard homeowners policies cap coverage on valuable items like jewelry, watches, art, musical instruments, and collectibles, often at $1,500 to $2,500. If you own items worth more than these limits, you need a personal articles floater or inland marine policy to fully protect them. These policies cover your valuables against a broader range of risks, including accidental loss, with no deductible in most cases. Whether you have a diamond engagement ring, a vintage guitar collection, fine art, or sports memorabilia, we help you schedule these items for their full appraised value through our carrier partners.

Personal Insurance FAQ

Common questions about auto, home, life, and umbrella insurance in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia.

Delaware requires minimum liability limits of 25/50/10 ($25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $10,000 for property damage). However, these minimums may not be enough to protect your assets in a serious accident. We typically recommend at least 100/300/100 limits and suggest adding an umbrella policy for additional protection.

Term life insurance provides coverage for a set period (10, 20, or 30 years) and is the most affordable option. Whole life insurance provides lifetime coverage and builds cash value over time, but costs significantly more. For most families, term life insurance provides the coverage they need at a price they can afford. We help you evaluate both options based on your family's situation.

No. Standard renters insurance does not cover flood damage. If you live in a flood-prone area in Delaware, New Jersey, or Maryland, you would need a separate flood insurance policy. We can help you determine your flood risk and find affordable flood coverage through FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program or private flood carriers.

An umbrella policy provides extra liability protection above your auto and homeowners policy limits. It covers bodily injury, property damage, and certain lawsuits including slander and libel. If you have assets to protect, such as a home, savings, or investments, an umbrella policy is one of the most cost-effective ways to safeguard them. Most policies start at $1 million in coverage for around $200 to $400 per year.

As an independent agency, we have relationships with more than 25 appointed carriers. When you request a proposal, we submit your information to multiple carriers simultaneously and compare their rates and coverage options side by side. This saves you the time of calling each company individually and ensures you get the best combination of price and coverage.

Yes. Most carriers offer multi-policy discounts when you bundle auto and homeowners insurance together. Bundling typically saves 10 to 25 percent on your combined premiums and simplifies your coverage by keeping everything with one carrier. We evaluate bundled and unbundled options to make sure bundling actually gives you the best overall value.
