Local Allstate Agent: Meet Nelson C. Espeland

The Espeland family is proud to have served Allstate customers in our Scotch Plains location since 1982. I am a second generation agent who learned a great deal from my father prior to taking over the agency in 2000. While much has changed within the industry over the years, my agency’s core commitment to customers and my community remains the same.

I am an active volunteer for various community organizations’ such as Habitat for Humanity of Greater Plainfield & Middlesex County, Homefirst Interfaith Housing and Family Services’ Inc., and the Summit Area YMCA. I also earned the prestigious Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow designation in 1999, which has enabled me to assist customers with financial services and life insurance. I am passionate about helping people learn how to protect the assets that they have worked so hard to earn, and to shield the families that they love from misfortune.

Products we offer:

Auto Insurance in Scotch 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!

Business Insurance in Scotch Plains
Close Business insurance modal
Allstate Business Insurance protects your business in ways other insurance might not. A business owners policy (BOP) usually includes three common types of coverage to help protect you and your small business: property coverage, general liability coverage and business interruption coverage. In addition to these basic coverages, the Allstate Business Owners Policy can be customized with additional protection to help cover more aspects of your business.

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.

Call me for a free review of your current business policy and to learn more about insurance solutions to help protect you, your business and your employees.
Life Insurance in Scotch Plains

Call me today to learn about the different types of coverage Allstate offers.
ATV Insurance in Scotch Plains
Close ATV insurance modal
Help protect yourself and your all-terrain vehicle against the unexpected. We offer bodily injury liability coverage and property damage liability coverage on your ATV insurance policy. If you injure someone else or damage their property while driving your ATV, liability coverage helps pay the other person’s medical or repair bills.

If your ATV is damaged in a crash, collision coverage may help. Collision coverage for your ATV helps pay for repairs if you hit another object, such as a fence or a tree. Finally, you may want to consider comprehensive coverage for your ATV in case it’s stolen, vandalized or damaged by hail or fire.

If you’re injured in a boating accident, watercraft medical payments coverage helps pay for your medical bills. Need to repair damage to your boat after an accident? Property coverage for your boat helps cover a crash with another boat or object (like a pier or buoy). It also helps cover theft, vandalism or fire. Help protect your boat against these covered perils during the on- and off-season. We also offer additional coverage for things like your boat trailer, fishing equipment and even towing or fuel delivery when you’re stranded. Need a boat insurance quote? Give me a call today!

Helping people is at the core of what we/I do, which is why we’re/I’m happy to support Someone Special Needs You through lending our time to back their cause. Because of our volunteerism, The Allstate Foundation provided Someone Special Needs You with a $20,000 grant to aid its efforts of providing social activities for children with special needs. Our team recognizes the challenges facing people in and around New Jersey, and we’re glad to be among many Allstate volunteers across the country caring for their communities by supporting important local causes.

For 18 years, I’ve been helping local families protect what matters most to them. I want to thank you for your business, loyalty and friendship — the Scotch Plains community is the reason I’m proud to be your Allstate agent. This feedback helps me to improve, and it's always great to hear how we have made a difference in your life. Thank you again for teaming with me for your insurance needs!

It was an honor to be a sponsor for the 30th Anniversary Awards Dinner for Homefirst Inc. After 16 years as Homefirst’s Vice President of the Board of Trustees I was awarded the Homefirst Hero award. I received this award because of my fund raising efforts for the organization and for volunteering to support its cause. I’m truly thankful to receive this award. Giving back to my community is one of my greatest pleasures. I look forward to continuing to donate my time and energy to support Homefirst. Homefirst combats homelessness by providing transitional and permanent housing, homeless prevention assistance, and social services to strengthen families and build communities.

Cassandra has been an Allstate customer for years. She filled out the Allstate ACES survey and was entered into a random drawing. The survey asks customers questions about coverage, price, and interaction with agents. By completing it, she was entered into a drawing and won.

Our team is thankful for our wonderful community here in New Jersey, and we try to give back as much as possible.
