My Philosophy
I decided to become an insurance agent in 2001. My main reason for choosing this career was simple: I wanted to help people. Spring forward 21 years and this is still my focus as an agent…helping people. It could be helping someone file a claim after a storm, helping someone protect their first car, their first home or just helping someone to find peace of mind! I love to help. My philosophy regarding insurance is simple, do right by your customers and they will do right by you!

What Clients are Saying
“My agent Chris Baur was exceptionally professional and personable. He was very thorough, and paid a lot of attention to detail in putting together a package including homeowners, umbrella, auto, excess flood, and personal property insurances for us. Chris answered all of my questions patiently. His phone and email responses were always prompt. It was enjoyable to work with him, and I highly recommend the Gerety Insurance agency.”

“Saved us hundreds of dollars”
“After our homeowners insurance premium went up for the third year in a row, I decided to try to shop around to get a better rate – not realizing how difficult some companies make it to get simple answers. I eventually came across a local insurance broker in my Google searches and decided to give them a try. Best decision I’ve made in a while. Our agent Chris Baur was extremely friendly and easy to get a hold of. Not only did he find a company that saved us hundreds of dollars with better coverage, we ended up bundling our auto insurance as well and am saving over $1000 a year. I cannot speak highly enough of Chris and Gerety Insurance and I’ve already been spreading the word to anyone in my circle that wants to save money.
If you’re looking for a sign as to whether or not they are right for you – this is it.”“

Thank you Chris !”

“Identified gaps in my coverage ”
“I have known Chris Baur for many years as he was a Real Estate client on both the selling and buying side. He is also been a referral source for insurance clients that I come across.
I have been Working with the general public in my career for over 35 years. One of the skills that I believe to be of upmost importance is communication. Chris knocked it out of the park in that category. He made himself available In the evenings and weekends and his follow up was timely and thorough.
Secondly is transparency and an objective viewpoint. Chris took a very detailed approach in reviewing what I would call a very comprehensive List of policies that my husband and I have had for many years with the same Broker. There was a lot of information to understand and to evaluate. Chris was diligent and very thorough in providing a full evaluation with options so that we could make a well informed decision. Moving policies after many years is not the easiest task and we wanted to make sure it made sense.
Not only did Chris save us thousands of dollars in annual insurance, but also underwrote policies that were equal or superior to the ones we had in place. He also identified gaps in our coverage and underwrote additional policies to protect us.
I greatly value him as a professional and highly recommend you reach out should you have any Insurance questions/needs or just want a second opinion on policies you have in place.”
