SUZETTE FOLL : Assistant

About Suzette Foll:

Suzette Foll joined Watermark Insurance in 2006, bringing over 10 years of personal insurance customer service experience to the agency.

A native of West Michigan, she has worked in independent insurance agencies throughout her career, and particularly enjoys working with high net worth individuals. Her background in personal insurance includes sales, service, and claim handling.

“Joining Watermark Insurance was an easy decision for me, because it allows me to establish a more personal relationship with our clients than most independent agencies. And, since we are focused on service, I have the opportunity to assist our clients for all of their needs – from writing their first policy to assisting them with their claim service needs. One stop shopping for our clients means job enrichment for me.”

Suzette earned a political science degree in 1996 from Calvin College. She and her husband, Rob, reside in Ada with their two young sons (and a couple of chickens).
