For Bill Stuman, providing insurance isn’t a sales job. It’s quite literally in his blood. Stuman grew up in the insurance business. Both of his parents were insurance agents. His brothers are agents. And, of course, he runs his own agency, Deerfoot Insurance, in Trussville.
Deerfoot Insurance provides individualized insurance plans tailored to their clients. Because Deerfoot works with multiple carriers who are A+ rated and financially stable, Stuman and his team can find plans to fit the needs of their customers both in the scope of their plans and in the size of their budget.
“We’re not order-takers,” Stuman said. “We are advisors to our customers. We don’t want to overlook any issue. We investigate what our clients’ needs are, and we find them the right product and the right price.”
Stuman is well-known in the area. He grew up in the Center Point area and went to Erwin High School. He and his wife and son live in Springville, and Deerfoot Insurance’s offices are in Trussville.
Stuman has owned the agency since 2003, so Deerfoot Insurance is going on 20 years — a generation or so — as a business that offers stability through not only its products but also with its long-term employees who get to know their clients and repeat customers.
“We’re here to support our customers and our community as well,” Stuman said. “We’ve got a great, stable staff, and they do a really great job. I’m really thankful for our staff and the work they do.”
That staff allows the Deerfoot Insurance Agency to be able to offer unique expertise when it comes to shopping for the appropriate insurance products.
The experts at Deerfoot Insurance, located in Trussville, offer some suggestions for homeowners looking to evaluate their policies this spring.
Property Insurance
Do an inventory. This can be time-consuming but having an accurate list of your valuables will help your agent find the best policy for you and your family. Simply taking photos of each room and making a list of jewelry, electronics, and other items in the house is a great start to getting the best coverage.
Check your deductibles. Are you paying what you expected? Insurance agents around the nation are moving many customers to percentage-based deductibles which can help with your monthly premiums. Deerfoot Insurance can help you determine which plan is best for you.
Renters insurance is important for the renter and the property owner. Deerfoot Insurance offers plans designed to cover landlords, tenants, dwelling fires, vacant property and renovations. Getting the right coverage for your business is also important and Deerfoot Insurance can find you the best plan for commercial coverage ranging from general liability, professional liability, workers compensation, commercial auto and trucking for hire, or bonds covering your work done for clients.
Auto Insurance
Check your deductibles. Simply increasing your deductible can result in savings each month in premium payments. The experts at Deerfoot insurance can show you how a small change to your deductible—like increasing it from $500 to $1500—can add up to big savings throughout the year.
Check your liability limits. Basic liability coverage is a necessity when driving but are your limits high enough to cover you if you cause an accident. If you have held the same auto policy for several years, there is a good chance you are underinsured.
Check for collision and coverage limits. These plans cover damage to your own vehicle. In many cases, drivers find their existing coverage only pays off the current value of the vehicle. Deerfoot Insurance can work with you to determine the best coverage for your vehicle.
When it comes to insurance and protection, the first thing you need to consider is the coverage. You want something that will cover a lot when it is necessary. The overall goal, shares Deerfoot Insurance owner, Bill Stuman, is to start fresh right away instead of scrambling after being struck by a disaster.
Deerfoot Insurance Agency has been committed to providing Alabama customers with competitive insurance pricing and quality customer service. With the slogan of ‘insuring a bright future,’ this agency makes it their mission to help their customers find the right insurance plans for a peace-of-mind.
“Customer service is the lifeline of our agency,” said Stuman. “We are committed to customer service and searching for the best policy to make sure that they’re always covered correctly.”
As an independent agent, Deerfoot Insurance Agency combines products provided by the more respected insurance providers into a custom package that meets your personal or business needs.
Insurance policies protect against financial disaster, whether it’s from a car crash or a house fire. Having your policies up to date is even more important than having a clean basement.
