The Benefits of Working with an "Independent Agent" in Rochester, NY

When working with an Independent Agent like the AG Gaesser Agency, you can be confident that you’re getting the best insurance policies for your needs without being tied to a single insurance provider. We work for you – not a big insurance company. That means we can pick from a carefully selected group of reputable insurance companies and offer you the best coverage at the best price.

Buying insurance coverage from multiple companies can be a hassle. That’s why the AG Gaesser Agency does the footwork for you. It’s OUR job to configure a package that best meets your needs. So, when the best auto-insurance and the ideal homeowners-insurance are packaged together for you, regardless of the carriers, you get the best coverage at the right price. 

Our experience and long-standing relationships with these companies provides another benefit: Response times! We know which companies staff the most efficient claims departments. That way, your wait times can be as reasonable as possible.

At the AG Gaesser Agency, you’re not just hiring an insurance agent. You’re hiring an advocate and an expert who will find the best coverage for you.

Matt and his staff have been a great source of help for over 10 years! Responsive and open to questions, they've helped keep our auto insurance at reasonable rates with good coverage. As our kids grew to become "young drivers", Matt offered advice on how to best cover AND advised our kids on what to do (and NOT do) as teens. In addition, we own rental property. Matt took time early in our working relationship to review a previous policy and point out where our gaps were. The difference in premiums was so small compared to the coverage and piece-of-mind! Highly recommended. Thanks, Matt!

Having an insurance agent in your back pocket who knows your business and your business goals is something you simply can not put a value on. I trust Matthew Gaesser with my business coverages, knowing I can tell him what is happening with my business growth and he will find the exact product that fits my business needs to ensure we're properly covered and make it all happen within a responsible price point. Just a phone call away, I know Matt is always there for new and current insurance needs!

Matt Gaesser has been an amazing asset for us, because he is knowledgeable and proactive. He regularly reviews his clients' policies and informs them when they may need to look at other companies. After being with one company for a few years our auto policy began to creep up. He contacted me to come in and review all our policies, and my family ended up doubling our home and auto coverage and significantly decreasing our premiums. I have peace of mind that my family's assets are protected and Matt saved us money....I couldn't ask for more!

Best resource for home and auto (renters, etc.) insurance in Rochester! Matthew is extremely knowledgeable about how much coverage we needed and was able to beat all of the large insurance companies in cost. We got more insurance for less premium. They run a great quality business - highly recommend
