We are excited to announce that Troy VanderMeer will be joining Navisure Insurance Group as an insurance agent in July 2024. With nearly a decade of experience in the insurance industry, including his time as a property catastrophe adjuster, Troy brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to our team.
A Career Built on Helping Others
Troy's background as a catastrophe adjuster involved assisting clients in rebuilding their lives after natural disasters. He provided critical support, answered questions, and ensured clients received compensation for damages and interim expenses. This role was both rewarding and challenging, as Troy helped thousands of people but on occasion had to deliver difficult news to those who were underinsured. His experiences have fueled his dedication to helping clients find insurance coverage that truly meets their needs.
Joining Navisure: A New Chapter
For Troy, joining Navisure is an opportunity to be part of a business where he can make a significant impact. The agency side of the insurance industry allows him to guide clients in selecting the best insurance policies, ensuring they are well-protected. Troy will be able to match clients up with coverage and facilitate the claims process, helping get adjusters involved quickly to expedite resolutions for clients.
Interestingly, July is the busiest month for Navisure Insurance Group. In Michigan, summer is the peak season for house and car shopping, driving demand for homeowners and auto insurance. This period also sees many policy renewals, adding to the busy schedule, so it’s a great time to expand the team.
Tailored Insurance Solutions
Troy's approach to finding the right insurance for clients is tailored and personal. For instance, with homeowners and renters, he will emphasize proper coverage to protect against unforeseen risks. Troy advocates for long-term value over short-term cost savings, ensuring clients are not underinsured.
Expert Guidance
Troy's extensive experience equips him to offer valuable insights. In the ACV vs. RCV debate, Navisure agents nearly always recommend Replacement Cost Value coverage to ensure clients are made whole in the event of a loss. This type of coverage, though slightly more expensive, offers significant benefits.
The Importance of Professional Advice
While some may opt to purchase insurance through self-service portals, Troy emphasizes the risks involved. An experienced agent understands the nuances of coverage, providing tailored advice that a portal cannot match.
Looking Ahead
Troy is excited to join forces with the team at Navisure Insurance Group. His background as an adjuster, combined with Corey’s expertise as an agent, promises to create a formidable team dedicated to protecting clients. Welcome aboard, Troy VanderMeer!
