Congratulations to all our college graduates!

 

Many of our clients have sons or daughters who graduated from college.  Spencer Insurance would like to congratulate all the graduates!

As your graduate moves on in life let us help guide them in their insurance needs.  College graduates need insurance too!

What happens to your car insurance if your graduate moves out of the house and takes one of your cars or buys a new car?  What if they move to another state?  New Jersey Car insurance is not the same as Pennsylvania car insurance.

Another insurance policy that is often overlooked is renters insurance. Many young graduates feel their personal property is not worth insuring.  I know he is my son but read what Brian says about renters insurance at his Philadelphia apartment.  “Spencer Insurance Agency has always been there for me, but when it comes to renter’s insurance, they really came through. After college when I moved into my first apartment in University City, my roommate and I had never heard of renter’s insurance and had no idea it was something we should get. Luckily for us, my dad and Spencer Insurance Agency were there to keep us covered. Now, I must admit, my dad is the owner of Spencer Insurance Agency which obviously makes me bias. However, what follows is 100% true and will hopefully convince anyone that renter’s insurance is crucial for any renter, even if you don’t use Spencer Insurance Agency.

In January of 2007, a fire broke out in the row home connected to ours. The firewall between our two apartments kept the fire from spreading into ours, but it did not stop the smoke. It also did not stop the water from flooding into the apartment through the hole the firefighters cut in our ceiling to release the smoke as they put out the fire. When all was said and done, we started the process of cleaning the things that could be cleaned and replacing the things that needed replacing, as we also searched for a new apartment. Before the fire, when I was first told how much coverage we should get, I laughed at my dad, thinking there was no way the old second-hand stuff I had collected while in college was worth that much. However, the cost of coverage was cheap and I trusted my dad’s advice. When the final costs of the fire had been settled and I realized I had spent close to $15,000 cleaning/replacing everything, I was very happy I had taken his advice. I didn’t pay for a thing, just my renter’s insurance and a small deductible.

Hopefully my story will convince anyone on the fence that renter’s insurance is well worth the cost. If you decide to get it, I highly recommend Spencer Insurance Agency. Yes, Charlie is my dad, but that doesn’t change the fact that he is one of the most honest men I have ever met, and he will provide you the same level of service he does to his own son.”

I hope you listen to Brian’s advice and give me a call.  Renter’s insurance policies can cost less than $150 a year.

There are other insurance policies you should consider for your college graduate. If your graduate has student loans that you personally guaranteed then you should consider a very inexpensive term life insurance policy.
