Growth through relationships! Rob talks with Scott Henman CIC, Michigan Insurance and Financial Services this week to talk all things insurance. They touch on topics such as explaining what's new in insurance, what do homeowners and businesses need to be aware of and, what are some common mistakes businesses make when buying an insurance policy?

We can't stress enough how important it is to work with an agency that goes the extra mile to make sure your insurance packages fit your needs and lifestyle. If you're calling the 1-800 number for your insurance needs, you may be missing out on coverage and significant savings, too!
