Homeowners Insurance

Your home is probably your most valuable financial investment. But it’s so much more than that! Your home represents your family, your lifestyle, your escape from the world outside, and that reward for years of hard work and dedication.
And Farmers understands how vital it is to protect that.
That’s why we’ve spent 85 years building a Smarter Choice in Home Insurance.
With Farmers Home Insurance, you get so much more than just coverage.

What a Beautiful Fall Weekend!

What a beautiful, fall weekend! I enjoyed watching one of my granddaughters in the Maple Leaf Festival Parade, hosted a sleepover for three of my granddaughters and did lots and lots of yard work! Busy, but well worth it! Bring on another week of fall...

We Love Client Feedback!

A big thank you to our clients who just provided us with the great testimonial below:

"When our Farmers Insurance Group agent retired, we were debating about whether to stay with Farmers or try another insurance agency. We then received a letter notifying us that our new agent was Thomas J. Pollard Insurance Agency. We met with Megan, our customer service representative, who was very thorough in reviewing our coverage. She looked for possible ways to decrease our costs while keeping the coverage we needed. She was very courteous  and knowledgeable about policies and available options. Thomas Pollard also stopped in, giving us a warm welcome to his agency. On subsequent visits and calls, Megan always gives us her undivided attention, understanding our problems and finding a solution for us. She has done a great job in tailoring our insurance coverage to meet our needs. "

 

We value our clients and appreciate when they provide us with feedback and thumbs up!

We Love Client Feedback!

 

 

We love what we do at our agency! Nothing makes our hard work feel more appreciated than a thank you from one of our clients.

 

Thank you to Jamie Hodgson who shared her experience with our agency, "I LOVE my Farmers Insurance Agency! I looked into different insurance after our escrow analysis came back short and our payment was changing, but I just wasn't excited about switching. You have taken such good care of us over the years. When I contacted your office to cancel, my Farmers Rep, Megan, asked if she could try to better on our rates. I wasn't expecting much, but she surprised me with a $10/month savings on our auto and A LOT on our home insurance--wow, we needed that! Thank you to the Thomas J. Pollard Farmers Insurance Agency team and especially Megan, for your outstanding customer service and going above and beyond! I know it would have been just as easy for you to accept my request to cancel my policies, but instead, you fought for my family! Thank you so much!

 

Sincerely,

Jamie Hodgson

 

Protect Your Family with Personal Umbrella Liability Insurance!

Life is unpredictable. You never know what might happen. If the unexpected happens, Farmers can help ensure you have the coverage you want to protect your family's assets.

With a Personal Umbrella policy, you have additional coverage over and above the liability limits of your underlying policies*. Your assets as well as your future earnings are covered.

Additional benefits

Besides providing increased liability limits, a Personal Umbrella policy gives you these additional benefits:

• You are covered against claims that may not be covered by your underlying policies for Homeowners, Auto liability and Watercraft liability, such as libel, slander or defamation of character.
• You are covered anywhere in the world.
• You are covered for defense costs and attorney fees associated with claims against you that are covered by your Personal Umbrella policy, but not by your primary policies. These expenses are paid in addition to your policy limit.

When the unexpected happens, you want to get your life back in order as quickly as possible. Call us today to learn more about a Personal Umbrella policy for the added security you want to get through a traumatic event knowing your family and your belongings are protected.

* Subject to policy limits and exclusions

Happy Memorial Day!

From our Farmers family to yours, hoping you all had a fun, relaxing Memorial Day weekend!
