Leadership team
Skyscraper Insurance, founded by Chaim Berkovic and Joseph Fisch, has built a reputation for providing quality insurance
at affordable prices while offering impeccable customer service.
We are known for fiercely protecting what matters most to our clients.
As a business, we have earned the reputation for being one of the best. Not only because the prices are good and the insurance is customizable to fit client needs, but because we give our clients true peace of mind that their insurance will be there when they need it.
We understand that buying insurance isn’t about the things listed on a policy – a home, a car, a computer, a commercial building – but what those things represent.
Our clients have plans and goals for their lives. Instead of worrying about what might happen, they can move forward with confidence and ease because we are there for them, and we share their vision for a better tomorrow.
