John Coyle of Tri-Star Insurance Professionals, Inc. has been named to the inaugural "Best Home and Auto Insurance Agents" List by D Magazine. In the September 2011 issue, D Magazine will publish the list of the Top 1 Percent of Insurance Agents in Dallas. D Magazine works with an independent research firm to compile a list of nominees.
When notified by D Magazine that he had qualified, John Coyle, responded "it's an honor and privilege to be nominated by my customers. The fact that your customers respect your work enough to recommend you to their friends and family is the highest form of appreciation. When I started my career over 20 years ago, I knew I needed to put the customers needs first. Everyone is different, so I take the time necessary to review and advise each customer as an individual. When your emphasis is concentrated on the customers needs, your customer always ends up with the best insurance options at the right price for their situation."

The list will also be available on line at dmagazine.com.
D Magazine founded in 1974, has been named the "Best City Magazine" in the nation three times by the City and Regional Magazine Association. D Magazine has also won five of the Press Club of Dallas' Katy Awards, including the awards for "Best Magazine" and the "Visual Communications award for Magazine Design.
Local interest has steadily grown since it launched its annual "Best and Worst" Awards in 1977.
The September 2011 issue kicks off a new "Best Of" series, Best Home and Auto Insurance Agents in Dallas. This new category will join it's popular Best Doctors, Best Lawyers and Best Real Estate Agents series.
This list is produced in partnership with Crescendo Business Services, an independent research firm. Crescendo mailed ballots to and called 17,000 area residents who had recently purchased homes. Recipients were asked to nominate only insurance agent professionals whom they know through personal experience and to evaluate them in two categories: overall satisfaction and whether they would recommend them to a friend. Crescendo scored and screened each nominee based on these evaluations. Each agent is qualified against the Texas Department of Insurance to make sure their licenses were up to date and there had been no disciplinary action.

Lending a Hand to People in Need
(Tri-Star Insurance & Philadelphia Insurance Co. Delivered items collected during a recent employee donation event held for the Samaritan Inn)
The Samaritan Inn Homeless Shelter is very near and dear to our hearts, they are not only a client of ours but they are also a very humbling place to visit.
The Samaritan Inn houses approximately 150 men, women and children on any given day. Almost all of their residence walk in with literally nothing but the clothes on their backs. Think about it, not only do you not have a home but you no longer have a tooth brush, a clean towel or diapers for your children.
Tri-Star Insurance and Philadelphia Insurance recently teamed up to help make a difference. We collected items such as baby monitors, towels, laundry detergent, diapers, wipes, toilet paper and other household items and donated them to the residence. While our donation was not a huge one, it helped many people in many different ways. Single moms struggling to raise their newborns could go one more week without worrying about diapers and families could go one more week with clean clothes and blankets.
When helping people who have nothing, it does not matter the size of the donation but rather the thought that you cared enough to share.
If everyone would make a small donation of their time by volunteering or making a donation of items from the Needs List from The Samaritan Inn’s website, together we can all make a difference.
Visit: http://www.thesamaritaninn.org/SupportUs/WaystoDonate/NeedsList.aspx for an up to date listing of items currently needed by The Samaritan Inn.
Tri-Star Insurance Professionals wishes to thank Philadelphia Insurance and all the local employees for all their contributions and support for the Samaritan Inn.
