ARE YOU STILL IN GOOD HANDS WITH YOUR CURRENT INSURANCE?

True claims story: A heating and cooling technician recently fell almost twenty feet after dropping through a customer’s attic floor. The technician sustained serious injuries and was awarded $8.9 million in damages, which exceeded the policyholder’s primary liability coverage limit.

Accumulating wealth expands your lifestyle and risk simultaneously. The natural consequence of building wealth is acquiring more assets: larger homes, vacation properties, cultivated art or jewelry collections, and even fun toys, like collector cars or watercraft. Owning more assets brings new levels of exposure that require a sophisticated approach to insurance protection.

As individuals and families build wealth, common risks appear:

• Non-profit board membership

• High-value property ownership

• Large art, jewelry, and other valuables collections

• LLC and trust-owned assets

• Net worth exceeding $5 million

When wealth grows, families often consult the same standard insurance broker they have used and relied on for years (or even generations), not knowing this approach can limit their ability to obtain the best coverage and pricing in the market. Gaps in coverage can widen far beyond acceptable levels of risk, and

By Ben Wilda and Alaina McWhorter, Private Client Risk Advisors

leveling up your insurance is critical to ensure a protected future.

Unlike standard insurance companies, private client insurance companies utilize specialized pricing structures and broadened policy language to meet the specific needs of successful individuals and families. Guaranteed home replacement cost, higher limits of water backup coverage, cyber protection, and agreed value replacement on vehicles and collections are just some examples of the broadened coverage types you can expect from a private client company.

Private client insurance companies are also more comfortable with complex risks than standard companies, and it’s often easier to find coverage for the following:

• Homes valued at over $2 million

• Excess liability coverage for LLCs and trusts

• Excess liability coverage limits of $5 million and above

• Large valuables collection without tedious appraisals

• Luxury vehicles valued at over $150,000

The path to sufficient protection starts with recognizing that sometimes the hands your coverage has been in are not the right ones to take you and your family forward.

Does my total net worth exceed $5 Million?

If the answer is yes, consider purchasing an umbrella policy limit to match your total net worth.

02

Was my home insurance issued before 2020?

Inflation, post-COVID supply chain issues, and the increased cost of building materials have significantly increased home replacement values since 2020. If your home insurance policy was issued before the pandemic, your dwelling limit is likely below the value you need to rebuild your home. Request an updated home “replacement cost estimate” from your insurance company to ensure your properties are insured at the correct values.

03

Does my umbrella policy cover each one of my personal real assets and the corresponding ownership interest?

Start by ensuring that your umbrella policy covers the personal assets you own, such as homes, cars, vacant lots, golf carts, watercrafts, and rental properties. Then, if it applies to you, confirm that the umbrella also includes any trusts or LLCs that own assets as an additional insured. Standard insurance companies typically do not allow you to include an LLC on your umbrella policy, but many private client companies do.

Do I have a single point of contact that manages my personal insurance program?

The more insurance agents and companies you work with, the greater your risk of coverage gaps. Working with one professional across all your exposures allows for a better understanding of your overall risk, offering a holistic overview of your entire insurance program to ensure every policy works in tandem. As an added benefit, you often save money working with a single insurance company or point of contact that can provide bundled insurance program options.

Start 2025 off with a fresh look at your insurance coverage. Our expert private client risk advisors will conduct a thorough review of your existing policies to identify any gaps in coverage and opportunities to leverage specialized solutions designed for your lifestyle. Contact Towne Insurance or reach out to us today to get started. 

MOLTEN MAGIC

BY ROGER GRODY

Glassblowing, an art form that literally emerges from flames, has produced exquisite tableware, lighting, and objets d’art for approximately 2,000 years. Today, contemporary artisans hardly deviate from ancient techniques, yet they are pushing the limits of invention and finding new admirers among interior designers and luxury homeowners along the way.

there’s a meditative side to glassblowing, almost like a daily tai chi practice,” says Embrescia, who has artfully manipulated molten glass for nearly 30 years.

“Some clients insist on something awesome, but don’t know exactly what they want,” says Embrescia, reporting others are inspired by the work of celebrity glass artist, Dale Chihuly. “I act as their muse, and together we come up with a completely original concept that we can bring to life,” he explains. While many clients, particularly fans of Chihuly’s work, instinctively gravitate to bold colors, Embrescia suggests that some of the most refined, sophisticated pieces can be achieved with clear glass.

Chicago has a community known for its rich history in glassblowing, for both decorative and industrial products. The city’s Ignite Glass Studios provides a space for artisans to create and share their work, from students to museumexhibited artists. Co-founder and creative director Ben Tullman says of his introduction to glassblowing, “When I first held 2,000-degree molten glass in my hands as a teenager, it was a magical feeling.” He adds, “Glass is a seductive and mysterious material, simultaneously strong and fragile, solid and transparent.”

Large glass pieces have the potential to add a super-unique aspect to any residential space.”

Asher Holman, Small Batch Glass

Los Angeles Glassblowing partners with architects, interior designers, and art advisors to bring stunning glass art into the home. Specialties of founder Jim Embrescia include enormous customdesigned chandeliers, as well as vibrant, backlit wall installations that provide a wow factor in luxury residences.

“Outside of it becoming a career path,

Tullman reports that increased access to studio space and television exposure (notably the Netflix series Blown Away) are fostering greater interest in the medium. Among the unique glass artworks that he has created are massive wall-mounted sharks, octopi, and stingrays in electrifying colors. Reporting increased demand for glass installations in luxury residences, the artist states, “I love to create beautiful glass objects that bring spaces to life.” Tullman is currently working on an installation at Chicago’s

Asheville, North Carolina, is famous for its creative spirit, and among its many artisans is glassblower Asher Holman, who was first introduced to the medium at age 16, and has been glassblowing professionally for seven years. His Small Batch Glass generates a wide range of products for the home, from stunning pendant lighting to unique topographic rock wall installations that infuse a space with color and whimsy. “Glass is a really amazing material and it’s mesmerizing to watch people work with it over an intense fire,” says the owner/artist, whose own studio in Asheville is open to the public.

“Large glass pieces have the potential to add a super-unique aspect to any residential space,” says Holman of his large-scale installations, which resonate among owners of modern luxury homes. The artist reports that his rock wall creations are particularly valued by homeowners seeking a dramatic effect, but something more distinctive than the plates or flowers offered by other studios. Describing his ethereal bubble sculptures as a marriage of art and science, he explains, “I harness the transformative power of heat to assemble them, giving the illusion that they’re suspended in the air, defying gravity.” Currently, Holman is developing a new line of lighting inspired by mineral crystals, featuring a color palette consistent with the crystalline formations found in nature.

As glassblowers push the boundaries of imagination, there is no limit to artistic expression through glass in residential environments—far beyond windows and lighting. 

HOME COURT ADVANTAGE

By Ellen Paris

Pickleball peaks as the fastest-growing sport and these luxury homes are serving up aces with at-home courts.

In the Hamptons, pickleball games paired with après social activities are invitations that active residents sincerely appreciate.

East Hampton homeowner Jen Shufro, along with her husband Greg, recently converted their tennis court into two pickleball courts. “Last year, after a skiing accident, I had no backhand for tennis, so I decided to take up pickleball and started inviting friends over to play,” Shufro recalled. “Now, we have so much demand

to join our games that it’s become a huge social event for us.”

Stories such as this are becoming more common in the luxury realm, which helps explain pickleball’s unprecedented growth. In 2023, there were an estimated 48.3 million pickleball players in the United States, according to the Association of Pickleball Professionals.

The Sports & Fitness Industry Association reports that participation in pickleball has

increased by an average of 223.5% over the last three years.

For the Shufros, they’re making the most of their at-home court with women’s games on Mondays and Wednesdays, and weekly after-work men’s games followed by a friendly dinner. Sundays also bring couples together for pickleball and socializing. “When it was a tennis court, it was hard to get people over to play,” Shufro claimed, noting the prominent

change after converting the courts. Over the last 18 months, Emmett Laffey at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Laffey International Realty, who markets luxury properties from Manhattan across Long Island’s North Shore to the Hamptons, has noticed more and more luxury clients building pickleball courts in place of tennis.

The sport is also gaining traction with a younger demographic; the Shufro’s two sons, both in their early 20s, also utilize the home courts with friends.

John and Montyne Connolly, Real Estate Agents with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties in Las Vegas, are avid pickleball enthusiasts. In addition to selling Las Vegas properties with pickleball as an amenity, the couple are IPTPA certified as pickleball

instructors, level one. “What we’re seeing in most of the Las Vegas luxury home market are clubhouses converting their tennis courts into pickleball courts,” noted John. Montyne agreed, “Homeowners with private courts are resurfacing them to play both tennis and pickleball, while buyers are looking for courts nearby or in private community courts within their subdivisions.”

Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas is also paying attention to the burgeoning sport. This active adult community, offering resort-style living and amenities, includes pickleball courts, a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse, fitness center, bocce, outdoor resort and lap pools, spa, and walking trails—not a tennis court in sight.

Considering that four pickleball courts can fit on one regulation tennis court, the

Homeowners with private courts are resurfacing them to play both tennis and pickleball.”

logistical side of the investment makes sense. Today, one former tennis court can accommodate up to 16 people playing doubles in a pickleball game. Talk about expanding your social group. New luxury communities in Las Vegas are adding pickleball over tennis courts to supply residents with an in-demand amenity and also battle space restrictions.

Seymour Rifkind, Founder and President of the World Pickleball Federation (WPF) and the International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association (IPTPA), knows firsthand the sport’s growing popularity. “I travel extensively throughout the U.S. and the world, and I can corroborate that many of the most exclusive country clubs are adding pickleball courts.”

Heading to Massachusetts, Paul Grover, Co-Founder and Principal Broker of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties, reported that the sport is thriving. “Cape Cod has certainly felt the pickleball craze over the last few years. I have several clients who have added private courts to their properties.”

Pickleball continues to attract luxury homebuyers. “This is most noticeable at resort communities and country clubs across Cape Cod, where pickleball courts have quickly become an expected amenity that helps draw homebuyers looking to embrace an active, outdoor lifestyle,” Grover said.

The Lakes Country Club in Palm Desert, California (about 12 miles east of Palm Springs), has an active pickleball program. When The Lakes undertook a major remodel, including its Racquet Center, they reduced three of the 15 tennis courts, replacing them with nine pickleball courts. “I see pickleball growing every year in every way,” said Donny Felich, Director of Racquet Sports at The Lakes Country Club. “We’re also seeing a younger demographic taking a liking to the game.” Play at The Lakes involves daily games, tournaments, and numerous social events.

The trend is also making an appearance in the high-end residential market in Atlanta, according to Ta’Tisha Gibbs, Vice President of Marketing, Luxury Collection, for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties. “In the metro Atlanta area, the luxury home market is embracing the popularity of pickleball. Many high-end properties are incorporating pickleball courts as a desirable amenity,” said Gibbs. “This trend is driven by the growing interest in the sport among affluent buyers, who view it as a fun and social activity that complements their lifestyle,” she added, providing insight into the mindset of affluent Atlanta buyers.

In Naples, Florida, Amy Potter, Sales Associate at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty, reported, “Pickleball courts are in high demand. Communities are converting courts and lighting them so people can play late into the evening.”

I see pickleball growing every year in every way. We’re also seeing a younger demographic taking a liking to the game.”

Donny Felich, Director of Racquet Sports at The Lakes Country Club

In 2025, Naples will host the Minto U.S. Open Pickleball Championships. Last year, over 3,250 people competed in this international tournament, ranging in age from eight to 88. A strong turnout is expected—according to Pickleball Communities Florida, Naples has 35 luxury communities boasting courts to accommodate the growing interest.

The economics of pickleball make good sense. Ned Kaplan, Owner of Court Order, Inc., has 39 years of

experience in tennis court construction and maintenance, as well as basketball, bocce, and pickleball courts around the Hamptons and across Long Island’s Nassau County. “In the last two to three years, I’ve been doing more tennis court to pickleball conversions,” he said. “I’ve done about 25 this year, so far.” According to Kaplan, building a new pickleball court costs around $35,000, which is about onethird less than the cost of constructing a tennis court.

In the last two to three years, I’ve been doing more tennis court to pickleball conversions. I’ve done about 25 this year, so far.”

Pickleball’s popularity is evident and other fitness organizations are recognizing the importance of the physical aspects of the game. Club Pilates, with a network of over 600 studios nationwide, hosted a summer (indoor) “50-minute Pilates for Pickleball Workshop” in Palm Springs. The purpose was to improve your alignment, balance, stability, and rotation of the spine—all essential for your pickleball practice, according to Club Pilates.

Celebrities have also taken a liking to the now-famed sport. Actor Vince Vaughn recently became the new majority owner of the Palm Springs-based Coachella Valley Scorpions, a 50-and-over pro pickleball team. Coachella Valley is home to one of 12 teams in the National Pickleball League and pickleball courts are found throughout the area. 
