Ask an Expert: Time Insurance Agency
Q&A with Lauren Schuler, VP of Sales, Jennifer Schuler, VP of Marketing, & Michelle Schuler, VP of Insurance
Make sure you’re covered with the East Austin experts of this third generation family-owned insurance agency.
Q: Why should I choose a local independent insurance agent?
A: Rather than calling around for hours to get your insurance quote—or, worse yet, not comparing quotes at all— local independent insurance agents will provide you expert, unbiased advice from someone who knows you and wants to see you and your business succeed. Not only is it completely free, but it also helps you get better prices, more precise coverage, saves you time, and provides you an insurance advocate. We’re locally focused and “independent” because we work with many different insurance companies but work for you.
Q: How is Time different than other insurance agencies or companies?
A: Built upon a legacy of service, Time Insurance Agency is a family-owned and operated independent insurance agency serving Austin since 1961. Three generations later, we still maintain our dedication to client service but are redefining insurance with modern tools and placing a premium on transparency and convenience. We do the groundwork of finding you multiple competitive quotes and provide an unbiased opinion to make sure you receive the best coverage without gaps or overlap on your other policies. At Time, you receive a bespoke, boutique experience while saving time and money.
Q: What should I know about insurance in East Austin’s current market?
A: For your home insurance, review your dwelling coverage amount since home values are rising and supply chain issues are increasing costs of materials. Make sure you have enough coverage that you could rebuild at today’s prices. Also, if you are renting or have a home, condo, vehicle, valuable art, or jewelry, talk with one of our agents about bundling and saving 10-15% across your policies.
Q: What type of insurance policies do you carry?
A: We are a full-service agency and provide both personal and commercial insurance. That includes policies like home, ranch, auto, renters, umbrella, health & life, as well as general liability, workers’ compensation, property, and cyber. Time also has a dedicated bond department for surety bonds that cover everything from construction projects to liquor sales in restaurants and bars.
Q: What is the most rewarding aspect of your industry?
A: Getting to know our community. We work with people one-on-one so we not only get to learn about their lives and needs but also their family, their businesses, and watch them grow and succeed year after year. We also get the privilege of protecting families and businesses for multiple generations and having our grandfather’s clients’ grandchildren work with us all these years later. It’s pretty incredible.
