Like most businesses, you will find significant differences between each insurance provider. While we are committed to providing professional and honest service, we realize that professionalism and honesty are a requirement, not a distinction, of our business. So what does make us unique?. We intently focus on property and casualty insurance for families and small businesses in West Michigan.
I was reviewing my current policy that was with another company and was wondering if I was getting the best deal for my car and home insurance. My son-in-law said he liked Boer insurance company so I called Brian. I was very pleased with better coverage, lower prices and his follow up. My former company never called me or contacted me.
When deciding on auto insurance in Michigan, drivers often focus on coverage for damage to their vehicle as a result of an accident or hitting a deer. If you're involved in an auto accident that results in injury or death to another person, bodily injury liability coverage pays for the costs to defend you in a lawsuit and for the judgment against you.

Derek has been so helpful in finding affordable insurance for our growing family. I appreciated how he took the time to go through each policy in detail, highlight the saving and why certain areas matter more than other. He is personable, professional and most of all patient. I highly recommend him and the Boer group.

I had an awesome experience with Boer Insurance! My wife and I worked with Derek. He was referred to us by a colleague and shortly after meeting Derek I was glad we worked with him. He was very personable and took the time to get to know my wife and I before discussing any insurance needs. I really appreciated how he showed that he had an interest in making sure that we got the right coverages for our needs. Additionally, he not only looked at our current needs, but discussed long-term financial plans with us as well to ensure that our coverages today would position us well for tomorrow.

Working with Derek Boer and his team is a very positive experience. Derek took the time to personally meet with me and answer all of my questions. I have been very happy with the personalized service at Boer. Derek is quick to return my calls and emails, even on a weekend. Derek and the staff at Boer made me feel like an important client that had been with them for many years.

I love switching insurance about as much as going to the dentist.but it was time. I shopped and shopped. I found a lot of the packages to be pretty similar, but insurance is a "people" business, and that's what made Boer my #1. Derek stood out as being very competent, helpful and friendly.didn't hurt to have the best rates either. He gave me a great deal, and made it simple, quick and easy to switch.didn't hurt at all. A very pleasant experience AND saved me money. Wow.thank you Derek.

Boer Insurance (and specifically Derek Boer) was very quick getting us a quote and it saved us a good deal of money as compared to our previous auto and homeowners insurance. and with better overall coverage. We got increased coverage and/or a lower deductible in several areas. We've already had one issue (a rock hit our windshield), and Boer responded immediately and guided us through the process. I am comfortable recommending them fully!

Derek reviewed my family's policy from another insurance company and was able to offer more coverage at a better value. With our busy lifestyle, we really loved the way the proposal was presented (a pre-recorded video of Derek reviewing our policy and explaining its details). It adds a personal touch but also allows us to review our proposal on our time. We have been happy with the switch and encourage anyone to have Boer Insurance review your current policy to ensure you are truly covered.

I would highly recommend contacting the Boer Insurance Group if you have any insurance needs or questions. The team delivers an outstanding experience; their deep knowledge of the industry coupled with the time and great care they take to understand my family's specific needs gives me tremendous peace of mind knowing that potential financial risks to my family are properly covered.
I feel that my needs and interests are their top priority throughout our discussions and am continually impressed by how easy and transparent they make the planning process. Finally, I appreciate knowing the Group is a broker which allows them to shop carriers for an appropriate and cost effective solution as opposed to solely positioning "in-house" solutions.

Over the past year, we have moved all of our insurance (home, auto, other) to Boer Insurance Agency. The responsiveness and amazing customer service has been a breath of fresh air compared to our prior insurance agent. Brian and his team have been so proactive with us and we're also able to significantly reduce our premiums by just reviewing our policy with no significant coverage changes. I have referred (and will continue to refer) many friends over to the Boer Insurance team!
