What My Clients Are Saying
I highly recommend Tim Furnary. He is a trusted partner of mine that I recommend to all of my clients looking for insurance services. Not only does Tim make himself available to clients, no matter the time, but he is local to this area (born and raised in lower Westchester) and really spends time understanding the wants and needs of his clients. He brings a wealth of knowledge to the industry and offers his clients superior service and expertise. To Tim, helping a client isn’t just business. It’s personal and he treats every client as if he is helping to secure insurance for a family member. I trust Tim with my own personal insurance needs and I want no less for each of my clients.

Looking back from having built a successful business and led a very full life, I see a trail of professionals – a succession of doctors, lawyers, and accountants come to mind –
who, at various times, have taken care of me and my family. Amongst these experts, there is just one constant. It’s Tim Furnary who has been our insurance broker for almost thirty years and I have never once considered changing.
Tim has been a consistently reliable source of high quality advice in placing and maintaining our insurance relationships. He knows the market, explains well, and tirelessly seeks to secure us the best coverage from the best companies at reasonable
cost. Humble by nature, Tim always responds to questions with patience and respect. A pleasure to deal with, I’ve followed him as he’ s moved to bigger and, in my view, better agencies. My only concern about Tim is that he’ll retire one day -- he’d be hard to
replace.
