“As a busy executive and the owner of several commercial investment properties, my calendar is generally full, and time can be tight. I work with Carmine from V.F. McNeil because I trust his knowledge and recommendation when it comes to making sure I have the right insurance for my personal home, auto and business needs. He always has my best interest in mind and saves me the time needed to keep track of my insurance and how much I’m paying. I would highly recommend Carmine and his team.”
