Jeff Bucci has been in the insurance business for nearly forty years, starting A R Bucci Insurance in 1987, with his brother Bob, who passed in 2020. Jeff is proud that he has been in business for as long as he has, but what makes him most proud is his loyal customer base from across Rhode Island.
“Being centrally located in North Providence allows our customers from Westerly to Woonsocket easy and quick access to our office,” Jeff explained.
A R Bucci writes many individual home and auto policies, but they also write a large volume of business and commercial policies. This gives Jeff the ability to bundle the policies for each client, providing all the insurance coverage that a client needs, such as home, auto, life and business.
“Clients have always had a very comfortable feeling with our agency,” Jeff said, “and we’ve always been able to maintain a trustworthy relationship. That’s what it is all about; insurance is a relationship business.”
Many of the clients with A R Bucci have been with the agency for three generations, which is a testament to a company that has been in business for 38 years.
“Across the board, our retention ratio annually is 93%, which is considered very high,” Jeff explained. “It also attests to the quality of business we write. Our retention rate and quality of clients is what separates us from other agencies. This demonstrates our commitment to our clients and our clients’ commitment to our agency.”
A R Bucci has always relied on referrals to grow its business, and the agency’s current clients are the best advertisement it could ask for.
While offering policies to cover all standard needs of an individual or business, the agency also offers niche insurance coverage for industries including trucking, transportation, crane and rigging, as well as insuring classic cars and other special interests.
As a car guy himself, as was his late brother, both having owned several classic cars, Jeff knows that there is significant personal and financial value in all personal property, which needs to be protected.
“These niche markets have been something that has increased our clientele over the years,” he said.
Recently, A R Bucci Insurance moved to a new location in North Providence. The agency is now located at 214 High Service Avenue, next to Fatima Hospital. Jeff and his entire staff are excited about the future and how they can better serve the community.
“After twelve months of renovations, we have finally settled in and the response from our neighbors and the community has been overwhelming,” Jeff said. “The support that we received from town officials to completely renovate a rundown property and turn it around has been tremendous.”
Jeff and his staff invite their clients and potential clients to stop in and look for themselves.
“We’re really proud of our new location,” Jeff expressed. “And, I know my brother would have been very proud to be here, as well.”
