SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT Baculik Insurance Coverage You Can Trust When you call us, you’re going to get a local agent that you recognize answering the phone to assist you and, on occasion, even fight on your behalf. F or nearly a decade, Matthew Baculik has worked to build a client‑focused insurance agency in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. “Our job is to be there when you need us and we believe in that 110 percent,” said Baculik. “When you call us, you’re going to get a local agent that you recognize answering the phone to assist you and, on occasion, even fight on your behalf.” It may sound simple but in today’s automated call center world, it is becoming more rare than common. That dedication to service stems from the fact that the Baculik Agency is a family‑owned and operated business. Matt works alongside his wife each and every day. Together they and their four employees assist clients in the areas of auto, home, life and business insurance. Tammy handles personal lines insurance including home, auto, life, umbrella, power sports and personal article policies. Keith works with clients looking to insure small to mid‑size companies and has solutions for niche policies like community events, charity races, block parties, etc. Susan handles everything from life insurance to annuities. Nicole, Matthew’s wife and a licensed agent, assists in all realms as the office manager. Matthew Baculik spends his days meeting with clients to review their insurance policies and assist them with claims, if needed. When asked about his day‑to‑day activities, he says, “I choose to focus on my existing clients rather than chasing down new ones. It is important to me to make sure my clients and their families are well‑protected and I keep up with their needs.” Once every two years, Baculik Agency clients expect a call to sit down for a friendly policy review. 54 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE | Upper St. Clair Baculik feels that one of the biggest misconceptions is viewing insurance as a “one size fits all” solution that takes 10 minutes to save a couple hundred dollars. “Certain areas of this industry are doing a real disservice to the consumer by planting that thought. An insurance policy is a complex legal contract with hundreds of coverage mixes that can span multiple policies.” People just do not realize this until they are faced with a loss that their quick‑fix insurance policy does not respond to. Baculik urges you to do your family a favor and sit down with a licensed professional every few years to make sure your insurance policy is set up based on your needs and not the needs of someone you have never met to make a sale. This type of advice is why Baculik got into the insurance business. Growing up, his father instilled in him the need to hire trusted professionals, and their family insurance agent was at the top of the list. “This came to life when our family agent helped us get through some difficult losses. He was always there when we needed him, going above and beyond to make sure our family was made whole — and I admired that,” Baculik said. “I wanted to emulate that in my career and be ‘that’ person people can rely on.” That attitude and hard work are paying off — the Baculik Agency is a three‑time Nationwide Champions Award winner, an award given nationally to the company’s top agents.
