Nelson C. Espeland: Allstate Insurance

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

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
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!
Home Insurance in Scotch Plains

Business Insurance in Scotch Plains
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.
