The fall time change takes a little getting used to every year. Here are some reminders to help with the adjustment:

👉 Be ready for glare and darker commutes. Keep your windshield clean and make sure your lights and wipers are in good shape.

👉 Watch for wildlife around dawn and dusk. It’s also a good time to review your comprehensive coverage and deductible.

👉 Keep in mind that most people are physically adjusting to the change! Stay vigilant on the road and make sure you’re alert before getting behind the wheel.

Speeding tickets or other moving violations can potentially increase your auto insurance rate at renewal. The impact depends on your driving record, the severity of the violation, and your carrier's guidelines.

💡Insurance tip: some insurance carriers provide discounts for clean driving records, completion of a voluntary defensive driving course, or the use of safe driving telematics programs.

We wouldn’t typically encourage ghosting... but we’d like to see these bad insurance habits disappear 👻

We’re proud to support Front Porch Housing and this year’s Golf Classic as the Hat Sponsor!

If you aren’t familiar with Front Porch Housing, they’re doing incredible work right here in the Upstate. Their three-year supportive housing program helps individuals and families move from crisis toward long-term stability — providing not only safe, dignified housing, but also financial coaching, education and career support, childcare, health services, life skills, spiritual development, and a community to walk alongside them.

There are plenty of ways to get involved beyond the golf tournament. You can volunteer, give financially, donate needed items, serve residents with your specific skills, or even schedule a tour to see the work firsthand.

We’re grateful to play a small part in supporting an organization doing meaningful work for families in our community.

Looking forward to the Golf Classic on Monday!

We’re tipping our hats to our Hat Sponsor, Goosehead Insurance - Ethan Hinkle! 🧢⛳️

Thank you for supporting the Front Porch Housing Golf Classic and investing in our mission. Your partnership helps us continue walking alongside individuals and families as they work toward stability, independence, and a brighter future.

☔ Rain or shine, your coverage should be ready for anything! ☔

Here’s how to weatherproof your home insurance policy before severe weather hits:

Review your coverage limits to ensure they match the cost of rebuilding your home.

Document your belongings for claims-proof inventory and peace of mind.

Ask about flood coverage if you live in a high-risk zone (psst… it’s not always included in standard policies).

I'm here to analyze your policy and ensure it fits your needs. Call me today, so the next storm won’t catch you off guard. https://www.goosehead.com/agents/sc/greenville/ethan-hinkle
