01
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.
04
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.

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
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.”

Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, comprised of 200 glass butterflies suspended from the ceiling.
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.

You can understand why we call the features on each page “The Art of Luxury.” For some, it’s a grand waterfront home with a gourmet kitchen; for others, it may be a downtown condo or a two-story colonial-style home on a Williamsburg golf course, complemented by a retreat on the shores of the Atlantic or the Outer Banks. Whatever luxury means to you—style, serenity, space, or simply a life of elegance—we want to help you begin the dream and make it a reality.
I LOOK FORWARD TO YOU EXPERIENCING...
THE Art OF Luxury
