JD Smith & Associates Insurance Brokers Inc.

We adhere to the Ontario Code of Consumer Rights and Responsibilities.
We are a Registered Broker with RIBO and all of our brokers hold a RIBO insurance license.

We have been in business providing Insurance Solutions, since 1979. Many of our current clients have been with us for 40 years and we are thankful.

As your broker, we will work with you to place your business with the most competitive company that you agree is best for you. We have NO allegiance to one particular company. Insurance companies sometimes give us a contingent commission of about 1 % based on our profitability, sales performance, losses and potential losses.
If we are your broker you can count on us to provide you with excellent service, price and a broad range of coverage choices.

We want to work with our clients to provide Risk Management and Claims Prevention suggestions. Our goal is to write good business with clients that are responsible drivers. We want to insure clients that understand Insurance should be in place for Emergencies and to Provide Peace of Mind. Servicing claims, when they happen,  is important.

Unfortunately, this year we have seen some major increases in premiums that were due to a high volume of water and fire losses in Canada. It is important that  Insurance companies remain financially healthy and are be able to provide safe, broad coverage for our insureds.

Our Brokerage Group continues to grow with  over 11,000 clients. We are working hard to keep up with the new commercial business that is referred to us due to our low rates and personal service.

In order for us to maintain a strong relationship with quality Insureds and clients, we work with each Insurance Company to assist them in underwriting the quality of the client. The insurers listed above (except those that pay us 15%), may occasionally, each pay us a contingent commission depending on a combination of growth, profitably, loss ratio, volume of business, retention and increased services that we provide on behalf of the insured. The contingent commission is not guaranteed. Each company has its policy outlined on its web site. Should there be an increase in the commission schedule, or any other material change that affects our compensation, we will notify you.

Every major insurance company is represented in our office. Some have better service and rates than others. Most will niche market specific types of business.
Our RIBO licenced staff are here to provide Excellent Service and Assist you with Insurance Solutions for you and your family.
