“I want everyone to walk away feeling inspired, and empowered, to make a difference for our clients.
When it comes to interacting with others, my favourite quote is my mantra:
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. – Maya Angelou
My goal is to nurture the continuous development of a positive atmosphere, with an emphasis on teamwork. This ultimately creates an exceptional experience for our clientele, which fosters trust, and confidence in the fact that we have given them the right advice that is tailored to their needs.”

Being detail-oriented, empathetic, and an active listener are just some of the attributes that make Nadine a dedicated personal lines executive broker.
“I always keep the clients’ best interests in mind, by putting myself directly in their shoes. It’s essential to understand where clients are coming from, and to hear them out. Clients may call me when they are upset or nervous – and my goal is to ensure that they feel better at the end of our conversation, knowing that their needs will be met. While the problems clients encounter day to day may be similar, everyone is different – and their perspectives are unique. Listening and understanding is very important to me, because this allows me to give them the best personalized service possible.”

With so many options in an ever-changing industry, it’s important to have a robust selection of insurance companies to choose from, in order to find the most competitive premiums.
I want everyone to walk away knowing that they have the best rates, plus the right coverages in place; and I want to develop on ongoing relationship with clients, in order to earn their trust as an advisor who is continuously looking out for their best interests.”

NICK RIZZUTO
VICE PRESIDENT

Recognized as one of the nation’s top young brokers under the age of 40 in Insurance Business Canada magazine’s “Young Guns” issue in 2016, Nick shot up the ranks when he entered the field, and continues to make an impact after 16+ years in the industry.
Specializing in Commercial Construction, Manufacturing, Wholesale, Surety & Bonding (and more), Nick finds himself visiting clients most of the time, where his outgoing, positive and genuine nature serve him well in the field.
A go-getter from day one, it’s no surprise that Nick was described by Insurance Business Canada magazine as one of 50 “rising stars” who will make “the future of Canada’s insurance industry… bright.”
“Our clients know that I authentically enjoy their company, which puts them at ease. When we can assess their needs in this comfortable manner, they’re able to open up, and have a better discussion with us about insurance. A client should feel taken care of at all times; and we take pride in providing this high-level service.
We’re not the insurance company who calls once a year for an annual payment. Our policy is to go above and beyond with follow up meetings, and by making ourselves as available, or accessible, as possible.”
