Hi, I’m Yaakov Willner, currently with Fairmont Insurance Brokers based out of Brooklyn, NY. Through a creative blend of risk management and cost-effective insurance coverage I help protect the stability of my clients’ businesses and investments.
My focus area is on most business types and risk areas. For a list of industries and coverage types I work with please visit my LinkedIn profile.
I have been successful at saving my clients hundreds of thousands in premium dollars via various innovative strategies without compromising on their protection and at times even upgrading their coverage in the process.
Here are some real-life actual successes from the case files:
- Property investor reduced his premium on his portfolio by 35%! We did this by switching him to a master policy program with better coverage including blanket limits and extended umbrella protection.
- Retail delivery operation reduced its commercial auto premium by over 40% with limits equivalent to the coverage it was replacing!!
- Auto repair shop with multiple locations including 1.5M building coverage, quoted unbeatable premium of 10K annually.
- Family style restaurant, new in business and many other ‘hard to insure’ characteristics. Successfully placed coverage at a low, low premium.
I pride myself on my relentless dedication to my clients’ needs and providing white-glove service. I take personal responsibility for all aspects of my clients’ experience whether it is risk advisory, underwriting, quoting, binding, renewals, servicing, claims, billing, risk management, inspections, contract review, audits – overseeing the process to make sure all issues are satisfactorily resolved.
I enjoy challenging situations that push my boundaries and keep advancing my knowledge in this ever-changing, constantly evolving industry. By keeping myself up to date on all industry news, developments, and events related to coverage and new markets, my clients are assured they are getting cutting-edge professional advice.
Here are some other advantages my clients can benefit from when working with myself and my team:
- Contract review of insurance related clauses on landlord/tenant leases, landlord/GC, as well as other types of contracts so that my clients are protected properly.
- Collaboration with all team players to get the best result for the client.
- Negotiate with insurers and fight to lower premiums as needed.
- Lender requirements review and negotiation with lender as needed
- Long term relationship outlook.
- Transparency & communication – I involve my clients in the decision making process.
- Available via phone, messaging and email, with swift response time. Also available after hours and weekends as needed.
- Explanations of coverages and relevant concepts so my clients understand and are engaged in the process.
- Initial underwriting is done on our end via various online public data sources instead of overwhelming the insured with an avalanche of data requests and applications to complete.
On a personal note, I enjoy giving back by volunteering in community and alumni affairs as well as spending quality time with my family. I live with my wife and children in Central New Jersey.
I look forward to hearing from you soon to discuss your risk management and insurance needs.
