On the occasion of our founding in 1975 by Pat Abbate a commitment to excellence and high quality service for each and every client was established. The Abbate Insurance Agency has embraced and honored that commitment ever since. Today, under the direction of Mary B. Pursell and Rocco L. Forte, the agency is acknowledged as a leader in the industry by those individuals and organizations it proudly serves and the carefully selected insurance companies it represents.
Over the past quarter-century, the agency has grown to a staff of twelve professionals, each dedicated to working closely with our clients, to understanding their needs, and to providing for their protection and peace of mind. And, as a benefit of our growth, we continue to gain greater flexibility and diversity in the coverages we can offer our clients. Our greater influence with the companies we represent enables us to provide more coverage options at competitive prices.We are a member of Associated Risk Managers International (ARM), which significantly broadens the portfolio of products and services we can provide to our clients. Through this membership we have ready access to a large array of wholesale insurance programs, surplus lines and reinsurance brokerage capabilities, property/casualty claims administration, benefit claims administration and an extensive network of brokers and consultants in more than 100 countries worldwide.
Our ongoing commitment to providing our staff with state-of-the-art equipment, technology and information enables us to serve you in the manner you expect — and we respect. We continue to explore and expand our automation capabilities and require our personnel to pursue educational and training opportunities, all with the welfare of our clients in mind. The combination of technology and prepared staff enables us to interface efficiently and effectively with the companies we represent in order to offer clients immediate and accurate information on available coverage, terms and options.
At the Abbate Insurance Agency, each client is served by a customer service representative who is responsible for the account. The representative is trained and qualified to handle all questions pertaining to the processing of your account. And, as insurance professionals, we periodically review your account and keep you informed of new developments in the industry.
So, whether you’re a large, multi-dimensional organization, a small business or an individual, you can rely on the Abbate Insurance Agency to address your needs — personally, efficiently and courteously — and always with your interest first.
That’s how we’ve done it for 30 years - and that’s how we’ll continue to do it.
