WHY Burkhart

Intelligence Banner

YOU'RE THE PRIORITY

Burkhart Insurance puts building strong relationships with our customers at the top of our to-do list. That means you’re not just a name and policy to us. We get to know you. We find out what your goals are, and we assess your situation to ensure you get the best coverage, premiums, and discounts.

Burkhart Insurance also has a long history of providing the best insurance coverage possible to protect you, your loved ones, and your possessions. Founded in 1958, Burkhart Insurance established roots in historic downtown Vincennes, Indiana. Since then, the agency has grown and expanded locations. We now have agents based in Vincennes, Terre Haute, Mitchell, Newburgh, and Washington, Indiana, as well as Bridgeport, Illinois, all focused on serving you.

What makes Burkhart better?

First and foremost, when you call Burkhart Insurance, you’ll always talk with a real person. Our experienced, licensed insurance agents answer the phone. There are no confusing automated recordings. No impersonal connections.

Second, Burkhart Insurance is an independent insurance agency. As such, we have access to numerous top-rated insurance companies. That puts us in a unique position to help you get the most out of your insurance. We’re able to shop different plans from different companies to find the right products and services for your situation. (It’s also what makes us vastly different than those online insurance giants). Whether you’re a family looking for great personal insurance or a business-owner who wants to make sure your investment and employees are protected, Burkhart Insurance has you covered.

Rest easy in knowing you’re getting a good insurance product. Burkhart Insurance holds the companies we represent to the highest standards and we constantly monitor their performance to ensure you get the best possible service. We’re also always looking at new companies that may be an asset to your personal or business security.

What can you expect from your Burkhart Insurance team?

Burkhart Insurance works for you, not the insurance company. We make it a priority to show you who we are, what we offer, and how we will help secure your home, business, or other assets that you have worked so hard to obtain.

From your very first meeting with us, you’ll notice our insurance professionals are different (in the best kind of way). Our first order of business will be to examine what your present and future needs will be. From there, we’ll get to work and develop an effective, well-rounded insurance program that fits you, your family, or your business and will withstand time. But it’s not a one-and-done meeting. Life continually changes, and your insurance needs to reflect that. We’ll continue to evaluate your coverage requirements and make recommendations on what is the best program for you.

Insurance professionals you can count on.

CIC & CISR

What is a Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC)?

The Certified Insurance Counselor title signifies team members who have attained a high level of professional education and are committed to a course of continuing education. The Society of C.I.C.’s goal is to provide insurance and risk management professionals with an excellent, comprehensive and integrated continuing education system of practical value. C.I.C. covers all areas of insurance, including personal lines, commercial casualty, commercial property, life and health, and agency management. Each institute is followed by a rigorous examination. Successful completion of all five examinations gives the participant the right to use the designation of Certified Insurance Counselor.

What is a Certified Insurance Service Representative (CISR)?

The Certified Insurance Service Representative (CISR) designation empowers outstanding individuals to provide exceptional account management and customer service. CISR courses are known for preparing front-line professionals to analyze risks, policies, forms, and claims data and communicate that understanding clearly to their clients, carriers, and colleagues. Earning the CISR designation is tangible proof of an individual’s commitment to a superior level of customer service—for clients, as well as for the agency.
