Testimonials

I would like to thank the team at Universal for all the help this past year regarding the policy for my new home. Everyone that I have dealt with has been informative, attentive, and helpful; these are rarely observed qualities in today's market place.

-David, Home owner

It was very frustrating to have a leak in my ceiling from the bathroom in the above apartment, with the ceiling buckling creating a hazard with the ceiling coming down.

When I reached a Universal associate, I found her to be so reassuring and friendly. She listened and then acted. I had a new hope for insurance companies and restored my confidence in the fact that there are people and businesses that really have goals of helping those that are affected by adverse circumstances. I needed to let you know that you are one of them!
