Anthony F. Cordeiro Insurance Agency – family owned and operated business providing superlative service to thousands for 30 years

image_pdfimage_print

Since ubiquitous is a good way to describe how many insurance agencies there are, how do you choose one to trust with your property, livelihood, and possessions? No one wants to take chance with the most important things in our life. We won’t put them into just anyone’s hands.

Just like any business, there is a gamut that runs from mediocre to superlative when it comes to insurance companies. What are the earmarks and attributes of those that are at the top? We want friendly, knowledgeable, professional customer service. We want to be sold the highest quality products. We want a reasonable asking price that is appropriate to the service and product we are getting. We want to be a name, not a number.

Mark Cordeiro, Account Executive.

Because of the commonality of insurance agencies, if we don’t get these requirements met, we don’t have to travel far – often walking distance – to take our business somewhere else. This “threat” is one of the positives of a capitalist economy: compete or die.

So, how do we sort through all of these insurance agencies? Do we “buy” into the marketing? Do we believe what the commercial is stating or implying about the business to be true? While I wouldn’t rule out that there are people who would “fall” for a commercial, its business mascot, or sales pitch, most of us require more convincing than that. Of all businesses, an insurance agency should be held to a higher standard – if we made a wrong choice in purchasing a policy we can’t simply return it like we can with other industries. Having found out you purchased the wrong insurance policy or bought it from the wrong people after disaster can have marked effects that can last a lifetime.

This higher standard comes down to anecdotes, word-of-mouth, and persistence. If a sister, best friend, or aunt says “I’ve been going to so-and-so for 15 years and never had a single problem.” or shares a story about the time they had to actually redeem a policy, that carries weight. You listen.

And since there are many insurance companies and people can go down the road, you won’t last long at all if you aren’t providing all the aforementioned superlatives when it comes to service and product. One place that has been going above and beyond, is trusted by thousands, and is highly respected, is Cordeiro Insurance Agency of Fall River. The proof as they say is in the proverbial pudding: they are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year. 30 years of impeccable service speaks for itself.

The agency which Anthony F. Cordeiro himself founded in 1987, has thrived off of what they feel is the best form of advertisement: word-of-mouth. Indeed, their slogan – which they take seriously – is “Stability, Integrity & Trust.” Treat people right, stand by your word, and follow through and people will talk and tell their friends, families, and neighbors.

It has worked swimmingly.

They have successfully served and continue to serve thousands of families and companies throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Mr. Cordeiro iced that “cake” by telling me that he feels this is a privilege and one he is grateful for. He’s doing something he wants to do and has a passion for. His work is his inspiration: he finds great reward in the ability to assist people in protecting their most valuable assets such as their autos, homes, businesses, and future of their families.

When asked about the success of the agency, Anthony stated “We’re a family-owned boutique agency, we are highly involved with our clients and their lives, and we listen to the needs of our clients and aim to serve them.” In that vein, Anthony and the rest of the staff, feel the first step is informing and educating the customer so they can make better decisions.

You may be baffled to find that if you shop for a policy with any of the agents at Cordeiro Insurance Agency, you may hear them recommend a cheaper option – they may even talk you out of an expensive one. Seems counter-intuitive, but they want what is best for you, not to upsell you. They are already successful and don’t need to “milk” you. When you do the right thing, word-of-mouth spreads. That is their preferred method of generating revenue.

“We genuinely help you get exactly the coverage you need to safeguard your home, family, property, or business. Not more, not less. Exactly.” declared Anthony. Besides that integrity, they offer a comprehensive line of personal and commercial insurance products – serviced by a veteran team of insurance professionals with over 125 years of combined experience in the industry.

So who would benefit most from considering Cordeiro Insurance Agency? Millennials who are now searching for policies separate from their parents, first-time homebuyers, owners of multi-family tenement homes, employers seeking commercial, worker’s liability, and/or health insurance for their businesses and employees, and individuals who are unhappy with their current agency/agent. In essence, everyone.

For many it comes down to affordability. A lot of companies offer great service, great options, and are very accessible. The sole barrier is cost. You can stop in and compare prices for yourself with no obligation and you will find them to not only be very competitive, but for the price, Cordeiro Insurance Agency will be hard to beat.

Outside of helping people make the best possible decisions when it comes to a policy, and then protecting them, Anthony F. Cordeiro Insurance Agency,is proud to play a leading role in supporting key community initiatives that are improving the quality of life for everyone here in southern New England. It makes a lot of sense: helping the community thrive translates into more customers!

If you are unhappy with your current insurance agency because of poor service, being treated like a number, rates have skyrocketed, or you would prefer to talk to the face of someone local rather than go through a website or outsourced operator, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with your experience with any of the staff at Cordeiro Insurance Agency.

Don’t fall for a silly lizard, general, or quirky, annoying actress. “Fall” for a local insurance agency whose proven success is based on friendly, professional service, decades of experience, and thousands of satisfied customers that live right next door.
