Things you should know

You can change insurers at anytime, not just on your renewal.  You will  get a complete refund on any of your unearned premium from your current company.

We typically save our clients $800 - $2500 when we are able to combine their autos and home, and increase their coverage's.

Many of the captive mass market insurers often fall short in ensuring full replacement cost on your home or commercial property in order to be more competitive in the market place.  When you underinsure your property and have a total loss, it may cost you thousands to make up that difference between your insured amount and the actual replacement costs, even with a 10% extension on your insured amount.  In addition, your personal property may only be insured for the depreciated actual cash value in lieu of full replacement costs, or you may have insufficient water back up coverage, if any coverage at all, for your basement.  They seldom tell you what their policies don't cover until the time of loss when it's too late.  

BIA offers great value that includes coverage's and policies that the mass insurers can't compete with.  That's why so many of our clients were long time clients of State Farm, Country, Allstate, AMFAM, Farmers and Liberty Mutual before they switched to us.   

We make switching to us hassle free by offering numerous ways to change to us - on line, by phone, by fax, our office, and best of all, we can come to you to complete the transaction.  We even include canceling your old policies.  How easy is that?  We also perform a complete report of your reconstruction costs of your property so it's adequately insured.

Let us provide a review of your insurance needs and in a short period of time, you too can enjoy the piece of mind knowing your insurance needs are in the right capable hands.

You have access to public records of consumer complaints filed against  insurance companies in the state of Illinois.

What our customers say
I have been with AMFAM for 8 years and decided to get some quotes due to my rates going up again.  After your analysis we wound up saving over 30% and getting coverage for our basement that we never had. Thanks for your help.                                      S. K.  Deer Park           
After talking to many agencies we found you to be professional and proficient in getting us the right coverage at the right price.  With your suggestions we saved over a $1K and increased our home coverage by over $300K when we changed from Allstate.   M.  H. South Barrington

My father and I were longtime customers of the Allstate agent in town for over 30 years.  I recently had a claim with them for my basement due to the sump pump failure.  Allstate denied the claim, and along with constant rate increases, this prompted me to look elsewhere.  Well it hasn't even been a year with your agency and I got hit with water damage again.  This time the water came in from the fireplace. Though I was reluctant to claim it due to my past experience, you advised me to make the claim and it was paid.  I'm glad I made the change and I am impressed with your professionalism.                  B. R.   Barrington

Thanks for all your help; you saved us about $450 a year which included a new 1 million dollar liability umbrella, and increased our coverage on our home.  I was with State Farm for 22 years and never realized how we were over paying and underinsured.                               J. L.  Tower Lake
