Gordy Hard is a great inspiration. He is still as passionate about Valley Insurance maybe even more so today than he was 30 years ago. It is that passion that makes his firm the best choice for your insurance needs. How do I know…?
It was 1980. I was a young man who along with my wife, had planned to open our first restaurant a 3,000 square foot facility, Ristorante Chianti, Geneva, IL. We had been approached by many insurance companies, but one young man who had recently ventured into his own business endeavor assisted by his wife, came better prepared than anyone else. When Gordy Hard presented me with his analysis of my insurance needs, I was totally impressed. I asked many questions and he had an equal number of answers.
When I gave the news to the other insurers that I had chose Gordy Hard and Valley Insurance, all of the others said the same thing “It’s a new company and he has no track record.” I simply replied “Thanks for the advice, but he seemed to really understand my business, my needs, had made the best presentation, had answers to my questions, and was reasonably priced.” And by the way didn’t they notice I, too, was a new company with no track record?”
Well, it is 2010. I am no longer a young man… my wife and I are in our 6th restaurant venture, all of which had Valley Insurance. We have grown from renting a 3,000 square foot facility to owning land, building and business in a 72,000 square foot facility, known as Walter Payton’s Roundhouse, Aurora, Il. We have been here 15 years, and yes the other not so young man whose wife still assists him, continues to visit us. We discuss my insurance needs (which are somewhat more complicated than my original policy in 1980). I still have questions… he still has answers… and his preparation and presentations are still far superior to any other agents who are still trying to get our business, 30 years later.

Dear Gordie and Kathleen,
I truly want to thank you for all of the assistance you have helped me with after the death of my husband with insurance issues with KCA Financial Services, which I have taken over. Your staff kept me updated on all of my policies, and when I needed answers they immediately called back. Valley Insurance made my transistion to a business owner very simple. My heartfelt thanks to all of you.

I have been with Valley Insurance Agency for 15 years and have always been extremely satisfied with their service and commitment to small business. As a local shop owner, insurance can be an inconvenience to deal with, but Gordie and Co. make the task smooth sailing!
Gordie and Kathleen and the Valley Insurance group are also incredibly active in the community and are always willing to lend a hand. Two thumbs up!

We are extremely happy with the service that we have always received from Valley Insurance. A year ago, we had a fire that destroyed our business on a Friday night and Gordie was there the next morning assessing the damage. Luckily, he had made sure that the coverage we had was adequate enough to replace everything that was lost. He helped us every step of the way. After the fire we heard from so many people that warned us that it was going to be a long, difficult road dealing with all of the different insurance issues but Gordie and Valley Insurance made it so easy. You don't realize how important it is to have a really good insurance agent behind you until you're standing there watching everything you've worked for burn down.
