St. Louis Park, MN (PRWEB) June 30, 2009 -- Tom Schmitz Insurance Agency, Inc., a State Farm Insurance Agency, Announces a Grand Reopening.

Tom Schmitz (http://www.TomSchmitz.com), has recently moved his State Farm insurance agency to a new office at 5619 West Lake Street, St. Louis Park, Minnesota 55416. To celebrate the move to the new and improved office space, the agency will hold a Grand Reopening Open House on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 from 2:00 to 5:30 p.m. All current and prospective clients are invited to come and enjoy refreshments and prize drawings, and meet Tom Schmitz and Ed Winthrop, the insurance agents.

"We're excited to showcase our new office space," Tom Schmitz said. "And it's a great opportunity to connect with our valued clients." He added that the new location is just a few doors down from their original office space. We are, directly across the street from the Roller Garden roller skating center.

Tom Schmitz and Ed Winthrop pride themselves in their strong insurance expertise and longevity in the business, with nearly 30 years combined experience. Tom, for example, has been with State Farm for 21 years and has earned special designations including CLU (Chartered Life Underwriter) and CPCU (Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter).

Among the agency's specialties are insurance and financial reviews. "These reviews provide an analysis of the client's current coverage and how we can help. We want to make sure you get the most bang for your insurance dollar," Tom said. One example is a couple that is getting married. That is an important time to review insurance needs and create a combined family policy to save on insurance costs. And people who are insured with multiple agencies can obtain policy discounts by combining their auto insurance, homeowners, and other insurance with one State Farm policy.

"We can handle all of those insurance policies, from homeowners' insurance and life insurance to policies for your auto, cabin, boat, motorcycle, small business, and investment property," he said. "And clients with valuables such as expensive laptops, jewelry, musical instruments, fine art, or collectibles can add those to their policies as well."

Clients consult withcome to the agency for a variety of reasons, such as advice on hail damage coverage with their homeowner's policy, and consultation following an auto accident. "We build those relationships, and that trust, and our clients truly appreciate being able to come to us for all of their insurance needs," Tom said.
Offering a one-stop shop is a specialty of State Farm.

Tom explained, "We provide one point of contact for insurance advice and claims," Tom said. "With an agency that operates as an independent brokerage, customer claims and service are typically referred to an 800 number. By contrast, our agency works in partnership with the claims office. We're in the same system and the same network, and we have direct contact, which provides a much smoother claims process."

Tom also emphasized the agency's positive relationship with the St. Louis Park community and surrounding areas in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. "We're very involved with our schools and churches, and with volunteer work in the community," he said. "People know who we are, and that we are a trusted and well-established local business."

He added that he enjoys welcoming new members to the community, and that the agency should be one of the first points of contact for people relocating from out of state, because auto insurance must be changed over within 60 days.

The open house on June 30th 2009, from 2:00 to 5:30 p.m. will provide an opportunity to meet the agency staff, ask questions, and set appointments for insurance check ups. Clients and potential clients are also invited to call or stop in anytime during office hours, which are Monday 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Tuesday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Central time.

Tom Schmitz State Farm Agency has been serving the Twin Cities for 13 years. The agency is located at 5619 West Lake Street, in St. Louis Park Minnesota, and can be reached at 952-929-7069. A map to the office is located on the agency website at www.TomSchmitz.com.
