Who You're Working With

An advocate, not a salesman.

I'm Chris Christensen, Vice President at Neis Insurance Agency in Crystal Lake. I've built my career on a simple idea: you shouldn't need to become an insurance expert to be treated like one. You ask, I translate, and when it matters most — at claim time — I'm the one calling you with updates, not the other way around.

My clients range from families insuring their first home to lawyers who read every word of their policies, production facilities, and nonprofits. What they have in common is one phone number that gets a person who knows them.

Working with me is like working with a family member — that's not my line, it's a client's. You'll find it in the reviews below.

Chris does a great job along with the rest of his team. You can trust these guys to get you great coverage at a great price. I am a lawyer and so I pay close attention to my personal insurance coverage and Chris and his team really know what they are doing. Highly recommend.

“Good Service”

I've been a client of Neis for years and their service is quick, the people are honest and so nice, and the pricing hasn't gone over my budget. I like having someone to go to with questions or requests and they take it from there!
