Hi Bina, thanks for leaving such a positive review!

Always there when you need advice about your policies.
very easy to talk to.

I've had pretty negative experiences with other insurance brokers but working with Derek was a breath of fresh air. He's friendly and professional and patient, and went out of his way to help me sort out some complex insurance requirements. Highly recommended!

Derek Lee is great insurance agent, he is always professional, courteous and helpful.  I am happy to use his services.

Derek was great, responsive and thoughtful.

I called Derek out of the blue, from Europe and in a rush to get a landlord condo insurance policy in NY.  He was very professional, friendly and calm.  During the course of just one day, he helped to find what I was looking for, and at a very reasonable price.  I plan to use his services again and would highly recommend him to other potential clients.

Victor, we’re so glad you had a good experience. We look forward to serving your insurance needs for years to come!

Needed to purchase Home insurance, found Derek online after reading great reviews about him.

Very clear explanation of the coverage and I was able to get in touch with him through email and phone call easily. It was great working with Derek, highly recommend for future home insurance buyers!

This agent was very helpful. He knows his work and is great at customer service. He got me the best deal. I saved almost $300 from what other companies quoted me. He called back promptly and got me insured the same day. I have always had another company that starts with a G(will not name drop) but will not be returning to them EVER.

Hi, Ken! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this amazing review.

Derek was awesome. He searched my condo, auto and umbrella insurance possibilities and walked me through all the best options. I was really struggling and Derek helped me quickly sort it all out. Highly recommended!

Hi, Sonia! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this amazing review.

Derek is absolutely outstanding. Whereas you get "robotic" answers from a lot of insurance agents, he's personable, knowledgeable and upbeat. If Liberty Mutual don't have the perfect cookie-cutter plan for you, he sets you up with a trusted, A-rated alternative Plymouth Rock insurance which they stand behind. The great thing about that is it is geared more towards the Manhattan apartment dweller, where they know that the security concerns of a condo or coop are different from a house in the 'burbs. That alone is worth calling him up for - who's sick and tired of being lumped in with "suburban houses" especially when we tiny apartment dwellers pay as much or more in real estate taxes as 4 br houses... Also, agents get a token commission but rely on volume, which is why many blow you off if you have a case that's not cookie-cutter - they don''t care, and don't need to. Not so with Derek who bent over backwards. All in all, it was a truly seamless, pleasurable transaction that solved my problem. He's all you could want in a customer service rep and clearly a terrific human being! Promote this man already!

Thank you for the 5 stars, Carol-Anne Ryce-Paul!

We put customer experience and satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the work we put in every day. Thanks for your kind words, Eddie Epstein!

Liberty Mutual has been our auto and home insurer for many years.
I'd been wanting to discuss our coverage and costs for many months but before I could get to it Derek became the agent for our account and reached out to us to discuss possible savings.
We had several email and phone conversations and the result was better coverage with significant savings.
Derek was well prepared for each meeting and responded promptly to every question.
I felt the interactions were always efficient and each left me more confident in pursuing the proposals.

Derek Lee has been our contact at Liberty Mutual for years. He has been a great resource. We have several policies with Liberty, and have total confidence in Mr. Lee.

I’m so grateful for your kind words, Nirmala S-C. Thanks for sharing your review with us and the community.
