Summary

Currently working in an insurance office in Victoria BC. I manage a personal lines book of business ranging from tenants policy, condo, home. 4 years ago our company had switched from the TAM system to the up to date EPIC system. We use 7 of the top standard insuring companies and many specialize insuring companies to help meet clients needs for coverage.

The owner of Harbord Insurance retired and sold the company to Waypoint Insurance in 2023 and transitioned over in 2024.
