Rent-to-own News - Walter Clark and Associates serving RTO Industry insurance needs for 24 years

Jeanette Beardsley first met Barry Gambini in 1981 when the APRO co-founder and past president sold his RTO stores. They've worked together to serve the insurance needs of rental dealers ever since.

"As the APRO endorsed insurance agent for the rent to own industry, we know what rent to own store needs are and we have the confidence of the underwriters which allows me to have pricing authority thereby providing better coverage at a better price for APRO members," Beardsley said.
 
Beardsley is a licensed agent with over 31 years experience in the insurance industry in all lines of insurance. Gambini, works with Beardsley as a consultant where he uses his extensive knowledge of RTO.

Both have over 24 years experience in multi-state “RTO” accounts.

Testimonials

"We have been using Walter Clark & Associates for 6 years.  The staff is great to work with, they review my policy annually with me to be sure I am not paying for coverage I do not need.  I have had one claim and it was a simple process.  Jeanette always keeps us up to date with the insurance information regarding RTO.  I would highly recommend this company."

"Walter L. Clark & Associates, Agent Jeanette Beardsley & staff provides complete and concise services to Nations Rent-To-Own since we have begin business some 13+ years ago.  She and her staff are most helpful in finding the best possible coverage at the lowest available rate.  Thoroughly explaining the policy and services, while weighing the needs and necessity on each as it applies.  As insurance complications arise with claims and changes, they are very quick to adjust to the issues at hand and overcome them with little worry about proper guidance and resolution.  I am pleased and quite content with the service we received from such an outstanding company and most importantly the staff at Walter L.

"I have been with Zurich for almost eight years and Walter Clark Insurance agency represented by Jeanette Beardsley. I don’t know what I would do without them handling all of my insurance needs. The best think I can say is that I have become comfortable and spoiled with the service and coverage I have enjoyed with Walter Clark and Zurich insurance. There really is no other choice for me."

“Jeanette Beardsley and team at Walter L Clark & Associates have been a true partner in business with me. They have applied their knowledge of our industry to make sure that I have the proper coverage. During an especially tough renewal year, they really went to bat for me finding coverage and making sure the insurance company understood my business and risks. The result was great coverage at a fair price. “
