Welcome,

This web site is designed to provide answers to your questions about insurance. You'll also find a list of questions that we believe are important to ask. In addition to answers and information offered by Wade & Egbert, this site provides links to many other resources available through our firm -- as well as useful information about Nashville.

Actually, this web site works a lot like we do. We believe an insurance agent is first and foremost a consultant. The fact is, insurance is not a simple matter. A considerable amount of experience is required to know questions to ask and what solution or solutions to recommend. Sometimes the solution is to do something other than buy insurance. If so, we'll tell you.

If you don't find what you're looking for here, we'd be glad to help -- at no obligation. Just call us at 615-383-9061, or e-mail us at insure@wade-egbert.com.

Thank you,

Alex Wade & Bill Egbert
