Why Us For over 20 years, the only thing we have done is write surety bonds This agency was founded in 1984 to focus exclusively on meeting the surety needs of our clientele. We believe it is to your benefit to leverage our specialized surety expertise. Unlike the traditional independent insurance agency, where surety is an ancillary service, surety is our exclusive focus. We have the unique experience, seasoning and expertise to assist your business with all your bonding needs. We offer our clientele a wide range of markets As one of the largest bond writers in the U.S., we generate premium volume sufficient to maintain a close association and frequent dialogue with the officers of a wide range of surety companies, including those of the surety divisions of most of the finest insurance companies in the world. In fact, the companies we represent combined to write over 60% of the total surety premium in 2005. As a result, we almost certainly have a market that is an excellent match for your specific business needs. Our entire team is committed to your success by delivering industry-leading service and automation Whether you appreciate most our efforts to be easy to interact with, or the friendly professionalism of our staff, or simply the bottom line of the program and rates we deliver for your business, we remain focused on and committed to your success. Since our earliest days, we have recognized that our ability to quickly and efficiently service your needs is tied to the degree of automation within our agency - as a result, our staff leverage a suite of very specialized and highly integrated and automated agency management and bond production tools to quickly and efficiently service your requests. We also embrace the internet age - clients who are interested may use the internet to request bid and final bonds as well as riders, report bid results, review reports of bond activity, and even pay their bills. Where needed, we can also deliver electronic bid bond packages to almost every agency allowing them. Our efforts will not cease to lead the industry in the areas of service and leveraging automation and the internet. Client Testimonials Your business moves fast and your time is extremely valuable, and our reputation is both solid and extremely important to us. Before contacting us, we thought you might like to hear what some of our clients have to say about us: "Solid performers. These people are quick to identify the target and hit it consistently. No muss, no fuss - one of our best assets!" Joe V., President "I could not imagine better service being afforded to us as we receive from RKA. From quick turn around bid bonds to high dollar performance bonds, the support is simply indispensable to our organization." Bob G., Vice President "Our agent found lower rates for us without our asking - he looked after us for the long run." Mark S., President "We have never met a more knowledgable person in the construction surety field, and able to present information in a very clear way. We have a high level of confidence in their ability to deliver in the years to come." Jerry G., President "Robert Keith & Associates has been our bonding agents for over five years. Their work ethic is top notch and they always add a personal touch to let you know they recognize and value their relationship with you. Sometimes our bonds are hand delivered by our agent, just so he can stop in and say hello." Mike A., President "Fourteen years ago we would have never believed that we'd still be dealing with the same bond agent exclusively. Prior to 1987 we used a number of different sources since then it's never been necessary to look any further than Robert Keith & Associates." Terry P., President "RKA is very professional, courteous and fast acting when it comes to surety bonds. It is a true pleasure to work and do business with a company such as yours every day of the year." Gary D., Vice President "As we grew and project sizes increased, our agent looked to the future by finding another company to provide bonding which allowed us to go after larger projects at better rates. We have always been pleased with the excellent service, amicable people, and quick/efficient service we have received from Robert Keith & Associates." Mary L., Office Manager "Robert Keith & Associates has been our bond agency since 1985. During these past 15 years RKA has remarketed our account several times in order to better meet our bond needs. We have been very satisfied with the services they extend to our firm, and appreciate the professional relationship." Mike D., President "I feel it is important for us to take time to let our suppliers know that we truly appreciate the service we have received. Your rapid response to our questions and prompt turnaround time to put our bond in place made a difficult situation seem relatively simple. Most importantly, the people we have dealt with have been forthright, helpful and friendly. I have no hesitation in recommending Robert Keith & Associates to prospective clients." George G., President "Two of the major factors we have found to be of great importance are cost and efficiency. RKA possesses these qualities. I have been known to request a bond on short notice and it is on my desk the next day." Joan Y., President
