IFA Insurance Company Real People, Real Savings

We don’t just sell insurance. It’s much more personal than that.

Your agent makes the difference. Working with someone who knows you, knows your community and takes the time to advise you about insurance turns a must-do task into a comfortable, reassuring experience. The full range of products from an independent agent such as auto insurance, homeown- ers, renters, life insurance and investments could save you hundreds of dollars per year. That’s the Gondeck Insurance Agency experience. No faceless online sales pitches, no voicemail menus, just real people who care about meeting your individual insurance needs. We represent many companies. So, let us do the shopping for you. Call us or stop by. Experience the Gondeck Insurance Agency style of service.

How can I prevent cervical cancer? When pre-cancerous cells are found, they are treatable and cervical cancer can be prevented. Remember, regular Pap tests can find cancer before it starts. Also, the HPV vaccine helps prevent HPV infection that leads to cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine is approved for use in females and males ages 9-26 years of age. Check with your provider to see if the vaccine is right for you or a loved one. How will I pay for a Pap test? Check with your health insurance about costs and co-pays.
