Michael Short: Allstate Insurance

You can view my financial industry experience and background at FINRA’s BrokerCheck

Local Allstate Agent: Meet Michael Short

As a third-generation member of the Allstate family, I have learned how insurance can help during challenging times — and how important it is to act with integrity. These values are at the core of the Short Family Agency in Denville.

My start in insurance came when I was a student at West Morris High School and worked at my father's agency. I later graduated from the University of Scranton, and after volunteering in Brooklyn and working as a high school administrator in Scranton for several years, I returned to my father's Long Valley agency in 2003. Five years later, I bought the agency from my father so he could retire. I'm proud to build on the lasting relationships and friendships he developed with customers over the years.

In 2010, I bought my Denville, New Jersey, agency. I've grown to love the people here, and I'm an active member of the Denville Chamber of Commerce. I'm also a proud resident of Morris County and take advantage of the many wonderful offerings of the Garden State. From beaches to golf courses and ski slopes, it's a great place for my wife and me to raise our son.

I give back to our community through sponsorships of the Denville Rotary Club, the Action for Distraction Run/Walk (to benefit the Goryeb Children's Hospital), Alex's Lemonade Stand and more. This community has given me so much, and I'm happy to support area organizations and local athletic teams.

The Short Family Agency is a family-run business, and we offer personalized service for your auto, home, life and other insurance needs. Whether you need to save for college or retirement, we look forward to working with your family and helping you choose what works best for your life. We are right below the Arthur Murray Dance Studio and next to the rear entrance of Thatcher McGee's on Bloomfield Avenue.

Products we offer:

Auto Insurance in Morris Plains
Close Auto insurance modal
Helps protect you and your vehicle if you’re involved in a car accident. At a minimum, you’ll likely need bodily injury liability and property damage liability to meet state auto insurance coverage requirements and help protect your finances if you cause an accident that injures another driver or damages their property. We also offer uninsured motorist coverage to help with your expenses if you’re hit by a driver without insurance. If you’re looking for coverage to help protect your vehicle, you might want to consider collision coverage and comprehensive coverage, which help pay repair costs if your car is damaged in a covered loss. And, optional coverages, like new car replacement coverage or loan/lease gap coverage help protect your investment in a brand-new car. I can help you choose a combination of coverages that fulfill state requirements and meet your needs. Give me a call to get a car insurance quote today!

I can help you tailor a policy to fit your small business’s needs. As a small business owner myself, I understand how important it is to protect what you’ve worked so hard to build.
