How We Do It

Homeowners Insurance and Personal Auto Insurance
Smart Coverage Home and Auto Insurance operates as a one-stop solution for your home and auto insurance needs. We work with multiple insurance carriers to provide a variety of quotes, allowing our clients to compare and choose the best coverage for their specific needs.

Once a client initiates a quote request, we gather multiple offers from our network of carriers. Clients can then compare these options side-by-side, considering factors such as cost, coverage, and carrier reputation. This ensures our clients have access to a comprehensive range of coverage options and can select a policy that offers the best balance of cost and protection.

Business Insurance
We offer exclusive discounts for Alarm.com-integrated security systems and devices. The technology both protects properties and reduces property damage claims.

Authentic Insurance, our trusted insurance provider, services the policy post-purchase, offering support and handling claims for our clients. This relationship enables us to deliver competitive insurance solutions to our customers.
