Weichert Realtors Press Release
Weichert Insurance Agency Appointed by Palisades Insurance Company
7/9/2008
MORRIS PLAINS, N.J. – Weichert Insurance Agency (WIA),
an affiliate of Weichert, Realtors®, recently announced an agreement with the
Palisades Group (“Palisades”) that enables WIA to offer New Jersey clients a competitively priced
automobile policy that is complementary to the homeowners insurance many
clients already have with Weichert.
“The
addition of Palisades is part of our
continuing effort to grow both our client base and the carriers we offer,” said
Chris Oehrle, head of Weichert Insurance Agency. “This model allows WIA to best match client
needs with the appropriate insurance company based on both coverage and price.”
An
automobile insurance company exclusive to New Jersey,
Palisades allows many clients currently
insured through Weichert to obtain valuable ‘companion policy discounts’ when
insuring their vehicles through the same agency as their home. Many competing companies, in comparison, only
underwrite homeowners insurance. Through
this unique and creative relationship with Palisades,
WIA is also able to provide the companion discount to clients who previously
did not qualify for this special price.
“The
appointment of Weichert as an agent was the ideal choice for our company,” said
Karen Murdock, vice president of marketing and distribution of Palisades. “As a
result, we now have the ability to provide competitive auto insurance and
exceptional service to clients whose home policy is written by an underwriting
company that does not offer auto coverage.”
“Through
the new Palisades ‘companion discount program,’ we successfully found a way to
offer lower auto insurance rates during an economic period of rising costs,”
added Oehrle. “At WIA, we take great
pride in constantly searching for ways to enhance our policies and keep the
cost to our clients at a minimum.”
