The Value of the Right Insurance Agent Is Immeasurable

This article was written by one of my clients at Pasko Insurance Agency, Eric Kasimov.

I never thought the hitch on my wife’s car would matter much—I didn’t plan on towing anything. Perhaps we could get a boat and tow that? No, probably not. 

So that tow hitch was just there. I ignored it. 

Then I get the call: “we were just rear-ended.” The “we” was my wife and two of my kids. These are the calls you don’t want to get.  

Your head immediately goes to: 

Are you and the kids okay? 

Where are you?  

Whose fault was it? 

The first question is the one that really matters, and yes, they were all OK. It’s just that the car wasn’t. Once my head was clear, I called our car insurance agent.  

His name is Bill Pasko. I am a client of Bill’s. Bill is also a client of mine; we help him with marketing. We only market companies and business leaders we genuinely believe in, and after many years of being Bill’s client, I can say with conviction that I believe in him. 

As soon as I called his company that morning, they put me on the phone with Bill. And the way he helped us with this accident took service to a new level. He laid it out for me, all the questions to ask the police officer, how to handle the other insurance companies involved, and so on. And that tow hitch—it turned out to matter a lot. 

The car didn’t look that bad, but the tow hitch had taken the force of the collision, pushed forward, and permanently damaged the frame. Technically speaking, the car now had “diminished value.” I didn’t know what that meant, but Bill did—the assessed value of the car had dropped by several thousand dollars, and we would never, ever have gotten that value back had we not asked the insurance company to assess the difference and pay us the diminished value.  

Sure, another agent could have maybe figured that out, but Bill did it and helped with conversations, paperwork, questions, calming us down, and so much more.  

So many people look only at the lowest price, not thinking about what happens when you need real service and support. Bill Pasko’s premium quotes were competitive, but the value of working with him goes so far beyond that—as became obvious after that accident. 

It’s easy to help a business and a person you truly believe in. That’s why it’s easy for me to recommend you work with Bill Pasko for your car insurance.
