Your home may not be on Main Street, but if you want to protect it, your insurance agent should be. As your local Professional Insurance Agents, we really are “Local Agents Serving Main Street America.” The well-being of our customers—our neighbors—is important to us.
We know that many people don’t fully understand what their homeowners insurance policy actually covers. Unfortunately, it’s often less than they think. When disaster strikes, seemingly minor exclusions can be monumental roadblocks between a policyholder and a claims payment. Together, we can help you understand what your homeowners insurance policy actually covers—or doesn’t. We work hard to get to know you so we can better answer your questions and provide coverage options for your home. Because we represent a number of quality insurance companies, we can help you choose from a number of policies to better fit your unique needs. Whether you need insurance for your home or simply want to review your coverage options, give us a call or stop by our office so we can get to know you. Your biggest asset deserves the attention of your local “Main Street” insurance agents.

Lake Placid!

Get away from it all with a walk through the woods, where the only sound that you’ll hear is the snow crunching under your snowshoes.
Photography Shoot down one of the world’s newest bobsled courtesy Dave runs reaching speeds in excess of 60-milesSchmidt/ ORDA per-hour. The Champagne of thrills!
Visitors to Lake Placid can skate on the same oval where Olympic legends once rounded the 400 meter track. American Eric Heiden won a record five Olympic gold medals here during the 1980 Olympic Winter Games
There’s nowhere else in the eastern United States where you can experience the exhilaration of skeleton sliding. Watch the track zip by you as your chin is just inches away from the ice.

your home
Our forth home is currently under construction at Otter Landing and the area is now transitioning to a residential neighborhood. This is an ideal family friendly location for either a primary or second home. Many lots have their own private water front access on Mill Pond. Main Street Lake Placid is within walking distance of Otter Landing. All properties are serviced by municipal sewer, water and power and Otter Lane will be paved and dedicated to the Village of Lake Placid in the near future. Deed restrictions and covenants insure the value is retained in your investment and serve to enhance the visual quality of the area. All lots are located on a dead end street which minimizes traffic and noise and insures a child safe neighborhood. Interest rates have remained at historic lows and there may never be a more affordable time to purchase a new home. Real estate prices have remained relatively stable in the Lake Placid area due to minimal inventories and few foreclosures and short sales as a result of sub prime loans. If you are interested in a newly constructed village home in Otter Landing, we would be happy to keep you informed on new offerings that become available as new home construction evolves. Starting in the low to mid 300’s.
