Testimonials

I want to thank you for the time your staff put into helping us with our employee’s son’s claim situation.  She is so appreciative of the assistance your team provided in facilitating the coordination of payments between our group coverage and the Michigan Children with Special Needs Fund.  I appreciate your remark that it was “no big deal – it’s what we do” but it was a BIG DEAL.   Krista and Nancy made all the difference in our minds.  This stuff is confusing when you don’t work with it regularly and you saved her a ton of time and worry.  Well done!

I would like to thank Andy and The Gremel Group’s underwriting team for the excellent job you did in securing life insurance for my partner.  With her medical and family history, we really appreciate the time invested and approach you took in obtaining insurance offers that ultimately led to the affordable funding of our business succession plan. 

-William S.

Until we started working with The Gremel Group, our employee benefits program was a never-ending paperchase that was lacking recordkeeping, participant communication and overall strategy.  Now that we are using your online benefits administration portal, we feel confident about our investment in our associates.  Thank you for bringing “big company” benefits to our family owned business.

-Colin R.

Just a note to say thank you for taking care of my parents.  We are constantly approached by the “big box” insurance brokerages to quote our business.   While they tout all of their services and departments and nationwide footprint, their salespeople look perplexed when I explain how you take care of the Medicare and long-term care needs of the company’s founders, my mom and dad.   When we have reviewed competitive bids for our benefits programs, The Gremel Group has all of the markets and pricing equal to or better than what we have received from the mega agencies.  The difference is in the personal service we receive from your team and the value-added services that you provide at no cost. 

-Jon S.

I was tempted to buy life insurance over the internet until my father told be about your agency.  We didn’t know that the pricing for insurance through The Gremel Group was the same or lower than the quotes online or over the television.  Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about our special needs daughter and connecting us to your network of advisors.  We now have peace of mind knowing that we have secured not only the most competitive insurance but we have also structured our estate in such a way that it will really meet the needs of our family’s circumstances.  Your legal referral was worth more to us than the cost of the life insurance.  Thank you!

Our former broker worked with us for years.  He would bring us donuts and our company’s health insurance rate increase each renewal season with only a few options on a spreadsheet.  I can’t believe how different things are now.  We are not a huge business with a fully staffed professional Human Resources Department like some of our competitors.  Your HR Support package has us in compliance and organized.  When you helped us out of a jam recently, I was expecting a big bill.  I was pleasantly surprised there were not additional charges.  We should have explored our options with you folks years ago.

We spend nearly $4 million per year on our employee benefits program for our West Michigan branches.  Our parent company cannot believe it each year when The Gremel Group is able to beat their pricing by over ten percent.  Thanks for your help in our success.  Your deep contacts with local carriers and providers really makes the difference!

Tia knows her stuff and is a great person to work with. She was able to answer all my questions concerning my Medicare Advantage plan and was able to find me a different plan with more coverage with no monthly premium. I highly recommend her and utilizing their annual renewal service. Reviewing my plan annually allows me to make sure I am on a plan that best fits my needs as my health needs can change over time.

I reached out to The Gremel Group for help with my health insurance, since I have never had to procure health insurance on my own. Tia is very helpful with navigating plan options and resolving any billing issues. She is very patient and thorough and It is such a pleasure to work with her.
