From items as big as a home to as small as a pair of earrings, personal insurance makes sure that whatever your client invests in, it will always be protected.
We provide comprehensive programs that protect High-Value Homeowners and Hard-to-Place Homeowners alike. Whether it is personal umbrella, private collections, special events or property coverage, you’ll find a policy to cover any personal risk.
The main reason I would give for working with Burns & Wilcox is the attention to service. In today's very busy world this seems to be a trait that is being overlooked. I find the people that we deal with at B&W take time to listen and ask informed questions which in most cases gets us to a satisfactory conclusion a lot sooner.
