Farmers Insurance Brand Ambassador Stops in Sea Bright, N.J.

PGA TOUR player and Farmers Insurance brand ambassador, Rickie Fowler stopped in Sea Bright, New Jersey, on August 19 to help rebuild a home devastated by Superstorm Sandy in October 2012. Working alongside Farmers agents and employee volunteers, Fowler helped install flooring and trim bringing the owner Erik Lovgren one step closer to returning home. Following the rebuilding, Fowler headed across the street to the Sea Bright public beach where he demonstrated his golf skills for more than 150 kids from local chapters of The First Tee and members of the community.

“The recovery effort in Sea Bright and surrounding communities by Farmers and Sea Bright Rising is incredible, and I’m lucky to have the opportunity to help,” said Fowler.

Farmers has a history of being the first on scene to help in the immediate aftermath of natural disasters. Farmers has partnered with Sea Bright Rising, a local nonprofit, to help rebuild more than 100 homes on the Jersey Shore by the end of 2014.

Are you meeting with your Insurance Agent annually?

Did you know you should have a meeting with your Insurance Agent at least once a year? Most people don’t and they never give it a second thought.

What can change in a year and what does that have to do with my insurance? If you have been watching TV at all lately you have seen those commercials about “do-it-yourself” tax programs, one in particular shows just how much your life can change during the year and lets you know these things can affect your taxes. Well those exact same things can affect your insurance. So take a minute to think what did I do this year. Did you get married? Have a baby? Go back to School or finally get that degree you’ve been working on? Have you changed jobs? Did you move or even change any contact information?

These kinds of things are important to update. Your doctor’s office makes you update your information every year so why not your Insurance Agency too. Having the correct information for you means we can work better so that your needs are met. If you forgot to pay your bill and I don’t have a phone number or email address how can I remind you? Sure we could mail you a reminder but who reads all that junk mail anyway?


If you haven’t seen  or heard from your Insurance Agent since you wrote your policy you’re not being taken care of. Every time something in your life changes it can affect your policies. If you add-on a new room to your house you want that new room to have coverage. If you get a new car you should let your Agent know.

Those are the obvious ones but have you thought to check to make sure your brother would be covered to borrow your car? Believe it or not, some companies don’t offer coverage to a driver not listed on the policy. How do you know if your policy is one that does? You ask of course! And what better time to ask than at your annual review?


Here at The Wertzberger Agency we take the time to do reviews with our clients at least once a year. Our clients are always welcome to call at any time with changes or questions and those are the things that make us stand out in a crowd.

We will take the time to look for additional discounts you may now qualify for while your here. At the same time, we want to make sure you have ample coverage for your assets. Can you see the importance of a review with your insurance agent yet?
