Very pleased with Levitt Fuirst as an organization. They handle our commercial policies and we feel that they act more as a member of our team as opposed to a vendor. Joe Bruno, Catherine Dolce, Kevin Kelly, Michael Provenzale and of course Ken Fuirst are pros!!

Thank you for always taking the time to explain our options and being there when we needed guidance through some complex situations. Always a pleasure to work with real pros!

We've used Levitt Fuirst for our business for a few years and have nothing but good things to say. You want them on your side. They take care of the big things but also the little things - they're still quick to turn around a request for certificate of insurance, for example. Special thanks to our agent Kevin Kelley and also to Joe Bruno for helping us to get through the gritty details of complying with New York City's insurance requirements.

My employer has been using Levitt Fuirst for as long as I know. I always hear positive feedback regarding Joe Cannova and his team. Today, most of the team on my end (who usually handle COIs) were not available and I needed to get an updated COI for an early morning jobsite. It was taken care of most expeditiously and professionally. Nothing to worry about..what an awesome team!

Our family had a terrible flood in 2021, resulting in a sizable claim and our insurance company jacking our premium skyhigh. I initially approached Ken in the hopes that he could help us find a new insurance provider at a cheaper cost. And tho LF hasn't yet been able to do that (since my claim isn't closed yet), they were able to work with me to get $3700 knocked off our annual premium by getting the insurance company to reconsider a previously unapproved water shut off device (which our last broker didn't even try to fight the insurance company on). We've been working with Michele, who is diligent and timely along with being a magicmaker. Very happy I switched brokers and very grateful for Michele, Ken and team.

I can’t say enough about the outstanding service Sean Zampino at Levitt Fuirst, and his team provides. Sean is available and attentive throughout the insurance process from explaining coverage and quotes to binding policies. His friendly, warm demeanor makes for the most positive experience when shopping for all types of insurance policies. I HIGHLY recommend Sean Zampino and Levitt Fuirst Associates for all you insurance needs.

As a woman-owned small business, Levitt Fuirst Associates Ltd is my go-to insurance broker. As the insurance market as gone wild in the past few years, especially for my trade - steel, Levitt was able to secure an affordable, personalized, insurance that's suitable for my company's size, work in progress, and potential work in bidding process. Levitt is always responsive, I never have to wait more than 3 mins to receive a response from them, from a quick question about whether I can bid on a certain job due to insurance limitations, to an request for COI. I feel like I have an in-house insurance department working just for me. You cannot get service like this. I worked with many insurance brokers before and they always watched out for their own interests. I never felt that way with Levitt, I know my interest and my company is protected. They have tremendous amount of experience and they are an experts. They would tailor a package just for you. If you are looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, reliable insurance broker for your GL, Umbrella, Auto, etc. LEVITT is the BEST!

We have been dealing with Levitt-Fuirst for ten years to secure various insurance policies on our large, commercial retail Shopping Center. Prior to switching to Levitt-Fuirst we had several unsatisfactory experiences with other insurance brokers who were unable to secure attractive policies for us at competitive prices. We have found the personnel at Levitt to be very knowledgeable, easy to get in touch with and aggressive in finding us superior insurance coverage with attractive premiums. For the last six years we have dealt exclusively with Cindy Henbest who has been nothing short of extraordinary. Cindy has relieved us of most of the stress involved with evaluating various insurance policies, dealing with tricky legal language governing the various policies, and handling a unique, critical insurance issue that came up. She responds immediately, is available 24/7, and is always upbeat, gracious. patient, informed and proactive. We can never thank Cindy enough for her tireless efforts to insure the best possible insurance coverage for us.Sincerely,David Van TasselVan Tassel Management

As with so many things in life I happened upon Erica almost by (happy) accident. A referral from the proverbial 'friend of a friend' at the end of an arduous first time home purchase. I was a bit lost but she thoroughly and patiently talked me through the entire process in a non alarming, comforting manner. She was honest about what I needed, what I could skip, what I absolutely HAD to have in terms of liability but never once tried to upsell me into something I didn't need. Her humor and common sense attitude were so appreciated, talking me through real world scenarios, so I was informed but not alarmed. She even went so far as to call the fire department and got a fire marshall to the house to confirm I had a hydrant so I could qualify for a much lower premium. She liaised directly with my mortgage broker when I confessed I couldn't even begin to understand any of what they needed and just took care of all the paperwork. I would highly recommend Levitt Fuirst if the service I received from Erica is any indication of their company culture. I'll be calling her again next month for car insurance and happy to refer!

My family and I have been clients of Levitt Fuirst for almost 50 years. Shortly after I had my first child I met with Ken Fuirst. I was in my early 30s and was interested in buying life insurance. Even though I had a MBA, financial planning was new to me. When we were done talking about the benefits of life insurance, Ken them moved on to a discussion about purchasing a long-term disability policy. I had a what I think is a common reaction - I am young, healthy and I don’t need it. He encouraged me to think about because “you never know”. Roll forward 20 years. I encountered extraordinary medical expenses the past 10 years. I was looking to buy a company, but didn’t have the financial resources. I met with Ken and he suggested that the cash value of my life insurance policies could be used for the acquisition. Eighteen months after the acquisition, I had a brain tumor which was successfully removed, but I was not “same person” I was before the surgery and the subsequent treatments. Thankfully, I had listened to Ken and bought the Long Term Disability policies. I filed a claim, which was the exceedingly complicated. It was approved and now I have a guaranteed, after tax benefit for life.Ken’s initial advice and help with the claim process invaluable and literally changed my life. If it was not for Ken and Levitt-Fuirst and the planning I did with them, I would be in a dire financial situation.I can not thank Ken and Levitt-Fuirst enough and would highly and enthusiastically recommend discussing your long term financial planning with them.

This is a remarkably great firm that provides solid guidance in selecting policies and insurance firms, with decisions made based on the needs of (and in the best interest of) the insured -- and for no other reason. Equally important, the employees of the firm who then handle ongoing issues once insurance is selected are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive -- which goes a long way during the often stressful event of having to file a claim. 1000% recommend Levitt Fuirst.

The best choice our firm made in 2018 was to switch our corporate insurance to Levitt-Fuirst Assoc., after using another firm for over 20 years. They came as a recommendation from one of our largest accounts. Jose Arevalo was the account executive assigned to our firm. I can only say that after our initial interview, I wished we had switched 20 years sooner. All those years of "insurance angst," disappeared. Mr. Arevalo and his team jumped right in to get our updated certificates out in record time and they continue to do so as well. Jose Arevalo and those at Levitt-Fuirst are all readily available to answer questions when you call and "have put out all of those insurance problem fires," that pop up more times than none. Not so by our previous insurance firm. The difference is surely night and day.Our company would strongly recommend Jose Arevalo and his team at Levitt-Fuirst for your insurance needs without hesitation.

Personal Insurance Considerations for High Net Worth Individuals

Are you properly insured for a “worst-case” personal liability scenario? Has your umbrella/excess liability policy been evaluated, relative to your net-worth and your personal exposures?

Has your insurance been analyzed for gaps between your liability policies and your umbrella/excess policy?

Do you have a full-time nanny, housekeeper, or other domestic help? If so, do you have the proper state-required insurance for these employees? What if you pay them in cash, or if they are not U.S. citizens? Does your insurance carrier offer background checks on your (perspective) employees?

Sometimes, employer-employee relationships go bad. Are you insured for claims by domestic employees for wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, etc.?

If you perform a construction project on your home, do you know how to properly insulate yourself from liability claims arising from your contractors’ work (e.g. a worker incurring injury from falling-off a ladder)?

Do you work from home? If so, special coverages may be available for your home-based business, but certain policy endorsements may be required.

Are your valuable articles properly insured? What if the price of gold or diamonds spikes just before your loss? Have you taken your estate planning goals into consideration when insuring these items?

Do you travel often? Internationally? Do you have access to an insurance carrier-provided VIP service that can provide travel advisories in advance of departure, or emergency medical evacuation and transportation to qualified doctors and hospitals?

If your home is destroyed by fire, does your policy guarantee its replacement, regardless of cost? Does your policy allow you to rent a home of similar kind and quality, for as long as necessary to rebuild your home?

If your home is destroyed, will you remember everything you own? Does your broker provide video-taping of your home contents, so that you’re not forced to rely only on the memory of your possessions during the difficult aftermath of your home loss?

Your home can be flooded, even if you don’t live near water. Are you covered for a Flood? (Most homes aren’t). Where there’s water, mold often follows… are you covered for mold?

If your mountain vacation home is in the path of a wildfire, will your insurance company pay to protect your home BEFORE it burns?

Newer and renovated homes have complex audio-video and mechanical systems (many driven by micro-processors), as well as expensive pool and spa equipment. If these systems are damaged by a power surge or lightning strike, will your insurance pay to replace them?

If your car is totaled, does your insurance pay for the “Blue-Book” value, or will you receive the full “Agreed Value”? Will your insurance pay to rent the same kind of car for as long as it takes to repair yours?

Don't wait for an uncovered claim to learn the answers to these questions, call us today at 914-457-4200 to learn more.
How Do You Know You Have The Right Insurance Broker?

Is your method for selecting your insurance broker (or carrier) more like selecting between two gas stations, or more like selecting a doctor for you or your loved-ones?

Does your insurance broker take the time to understand your business and/or personal insurance goals and priorities?

Do you have a personal relationship with your insurance agency’s principal[s]?

Does your insurance broker have a knowledgeable, available staff that responds promptly to your questions in a language you can understand?

Does your insurance broker have access to top representatives of insurance companies when negotiating and/or facilitating a claim settlement on your behalf?

Does your broker hold appointments indicative of a respected reputation within the community?

Does your broker offer special programs, which can provide broad coverages at discounted rates?

When did you last receive an in-person review of proposed and/or renewal insurance?

How well do you understand the insurance that protects your home, valuables, personal liability, and your business? Has your broker taken the time to explain what is covered (AND what is EXCLUDED?) Examples:
  • If your house is destroyed by a tornado, and the price of contractors and materials doubles as a result, does your insurance guarantee to pay for the full replacement cost of your home?
  • If your (your wife’s) diamond ring falls down the drain at a restaurant, the same night that diamond prices increase by 50%, will insurance pay for replacement ring?
  • If you and a family member are in your personal auto, and you are seriously both injured after being struck by a drunk driver who does not have insurance, how will your insurance respond?
  • If you are sued by an employee for sexual harassment or age discrimination, are you covered?
Have you ever received options for your insurance renewal, along with a side-by-side comparison chart of key coverages?

If you’ve hired a contractor to do work at your home or business, has your broker explained what documentation you should collect to protect from liability claims arising from injuries to the contractor’s employees (hint: if you think it’s just the insurance certificate, you’re wrong).

If you called your insurance provider at 2AM on a Sunday because your house was on fire, with whom would you speak: “Jake from State Farm” or someone with whom you have a personal relationship?
