Homeowner Icon

Homeowners

We can provide comprehensive protection for your building, as well as loss to your contents and additional living expenses if you need to live elsewhere if an insured claim prevents you from residing in your home.

With coverage for perils such as fire, water escape, windstorm or theft, home insurance can help you cover the cost of repairs or replacement.

Building Icon

Condos

Own a condo? You’ll want to make sure you have the right insurance coverage in place. Condominium corporations come with complex and often confusing rules and regulations.

Modern condominium insurance policies can provide robust coverage, but only if you have purchased the correct coverage.

Key Icon

Tenants

Do you rent? You’re not off the hook when it comes to insurance. You need to protect your belongings. Your landlord’s building insurance policy provides no coverage for the contents of your unit in the event of loss.

We can help you to determine the correct amount of coverage to protect your personal property.

Car Icon

Automobile/Motorcycle

You’re always on the go. So, we have car insurance options that fit your needs, no matter what you drive. Receive protection for your car against collisions, theft, fire, and loss of use of your vehicle, as well as your liability for physical injury you can potentially cause to others.

The Ontario auto policy also affords you coverage for loss of income, medical rehabilitation and attendant care, death and funeral benefits as a result injuries sustained in an auto accident… but you need to choose the best protection for you and your family. Everyone’s situation is different.

Hear it from our clients first:

Carolee

Katie is an amazing Broker! I was having difficulty with a claim and she got involved without being asked. She professionally escalated it and stayed in touch throughout the process making it as easy as possible. She proceeded to help me find a better insurance company and gave me excellence advice so I could get the best rate possible. In the end, I saved 75% on my premiums. I can’t recommend her enough!

Carolee T

Geoffrey

My old broker was a poor communicator and hard to get a hold of. He made multiple mistakes on my policies. I contacted another who was much of the same.
From the start, Katie was responsive and clear in her communications.
I will refer her in the future.

Common Questions

Have questions that need answered?
Read below or contact us for more information.

What is no-fault insurance in Ontario?

What is no-fault insurance in Ontario?

Likely the most misleading terminology that could be used, someone involved in an automobile accident in Ontario is always deemed fully, partially, or not at fault. The term “no-fault” refers to the accident benefit section of the auto insurance policy.

This section of the policy provides coverage for loss of income, medical rehabilitation, attendant care, caregiver, housekeeping, funeral, and death benefits as they relate to injuries sustained by the occupants of a vehicle involved in auto accident.

This section of the policy will respond regardless of fault, hence the term no-fault.

What is a deductible?

What is a deductible?

When an insured loss occurs on a contract of insurance, there is generally a deductible applied. This is stated in your policy documents and may alter based on the type of coverage.

For example, a standard property insurance deductible is $1000, but water related losses may have $2000 deductible. This is the share you contribute as the policyholder. When referencing auto insurance, it is important to realize that losses involving other motorists or pedestrians or property damage to others are required to be reported regardless of if the damage is under your listed deductible. You may save premium if you choose a higher deductible.

Can I let other people drive my vehicle?

Can I let other people drive my vehicle?

In Ontario the owner of the vehicle is required to insure it. The owner’s policy (OAP 1) generally lists drivers that are regular operators of the vehicle.

There may be an occasion where you need to lend your vehicle. Provided the operator holds a valid operators licence and has your permission as the owner, they can drive your vehicle, BUT they are driving on your insurance. This means, any losses that occur can and will be rated against you as the owner.

The auto insurance contract does require you disclose regular operators and drivers residing in your household without their own car and insurance. Failure to do so may create a material change in risk after an unlisted driver causes a claim, which could result in the cancellation of your policy.

Do convictions on my driving record affect my insurance?

Do convictions on my driving record affect my insurance?

YES. If you receive a moving violation from a police officer (this does not include red light and speed enforcement camera violations as well as parking tickets), this will impact your insurance premium.

If you fight a ticket and the “points” are waived, you still have a rateable conviction on your driving record. Points are reserved for use by the Ministry of Transportation in Ontario. If you collect a certain number over a certain period, they can bring you in for a stern discussion or suspend your licence. Your insurer will not care if your points were dropped or lowered as you still have the conviction on your driving record.

A conviction goes on your driving record once you have been found guilty of the action (either by not challenging it or paying the fine) and remains on your abstract for three (3) years from that date, not the date of the offence. Most Canadian provinces and many of the USA states have a reciprocal arrangement with Ontario, so an out of province ticket may still appear on your Ontario driving abstract.
