“It's my pleasure to write a testimonial for Larmond Risk Management. 
I have dealt with Chad Larmond quite a bit over the last year both professionally and personally.  He led the introduction of a great LTD program for our Senior Executive Team at work and everyone was very impressed with his knowledge, openness and overall professionalism.  We are also very happy with the end product which he gave us tons of advice and education around before we made our final selection.  He has also helped my husband and I on the personal front to better understand our risk and short term and long term needs and again has delivered an excellent product to us.  I would not hesitate to recommend this firm to both my professional and personal network.  Thank you Chad.”

“As an academic orthopaedic surgeon, my schedule is exceptionally busy. In the past I have often worried I hadn't devoted the requisite time and effort to ensure I had optimal disability coverage for my situation.
I consulted Chad and quickly realized my coverage was inadequate. Chad was never pushy nor overbearing in his approach to my needs. He presented my options in a concise, yet comprehensive manner. I felt instantly reassured the he knew ‎how to negotiate the disability insurance marketplace and could optimize the coverage I required.  I now no longer worry about my coverage and am secure in the knowledge that Chad will continue to have my best interests in mind going forward.”

Dr. Daniel Whelan | Orthopaedic Surgeon | St. Michael’s Hospital

Without your knowledge of the industry, combined with your perseverance and professionalism, our family would not have the coverage that we need.

“Chad and his team have been a pleasure to deal with.  Like most people, I had a patchwork of insurance products and the arrival of my first child prompted me to overhaul and coordinate my coverage.  Chad expertly and patiently guided me through this process, recommended a solid mix of products that balanced protection and cost and repeated the same for my wife.  We now rest easy knowing that our family's insurance needs are being fully met and properly managed.  I wholeheartedly recommend Chad and look forward to working with him for many years yet.”

Ajitpal Dipak | Director of Technology | Transcontinental Media

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chad and his team for over a year now.  Chad has always been extremely professional, responsive and so insightful with anything pertaining to insurance and financial services.  While leveraging his experience and insights, I’ve never felt pressured or compelled to go in any direction, other than the one that works for me and my family.  Chad has also gone out of his way to facilitate additional insurance support outside of his core services, as well as introductions to fresh and practical perspectives on investment strategies.  I would not hesitate to refer and engage Chad and his team for any insurance related services.”

"From our initial correspondence we felt very comfortable with you and that carried on to when you met with us in our home.   We were very happy with the options that you presented to regarding our insurance coverage.  You and your office have always been prompt in replying to any of our inquiries and a pleasure to deal with.  I highly recommend your personal service and expertise.  I hope we never have a situation where we have to contact you with troubling news but it's comforting to know that you are only a phone call away."

“After my wife and I had bought our first house, we knew it was time to take a good look at our insurance situation.  We didn’t really know where to start, but luckily Chad was able to navigate us through all our options while giving us advice on what options best fit our situation.  His personalized service was also evident during the application process with the insurance provider that did not go as smoothly as hoped and he personally followed up on our behalf to ensure our applications were processed in due course.  We would both wholeheartedly recommend Chad to anyone trying to make sense of their current financial situation.”

Ben Fash | Vice-President | Birch Hill Equity Partners

"The experience I had is one of comfort because when we speak about any issues we talk like a family, it is one where I feel free and relax to raise any point, make an enquiry and I am sure that you will respond with the best possible option.   It is the right place with the right person to do business."

"Chad has great knowledge of insurance products and offers a variety of solutions and options. He has worked very hard on my file and has provided  the best advice I’ve ever received from an Insurance representative. Aside from his great knowledge I really appreciated the “no pressure” approach  - allowing me the time and space to make decisions but always available to answer any questions I had during this process. I would highly recommend Chad to all of my friends and family." 

Lewis Feinstein | SVP Store Operations | Town Shoes Limited
 

"I've known Chad Larmond, both professionally and personally, for approximately 10 years. Chad and I have worked together as strategic partners and I have felt very comfortable recommending clients to work with him, and have received excellent feedback on his professionalism and results for our mutual clients. Chad truly cares about his clients and instills a level of trust that establishes a foundation for a long term business relationship."

Don Hiltz | Vice President, Sales & Marketing | SmartChoice Benefits Inc
 

“I recently worked with Chad to overhaul my personal insurance plans covering life and long-term disability to supplement and in some cases replace the coverage offered by my current employer. I was surprised to learn of the many drawbacks of my company-sponsored plans and am now very pleased with the level of comprehensive coverage I have put in place with Chad’s help.  Working with Chad, I found him to be extremely knowledgeable of the insurance landscape and in touch with real-time developments affecting the coverage options we were reviewing. As an advisor, he clearly laid out all of the various options, relevant details, pros/cons,etc and offered welcome advice where required. If something happened and we needed to access any of our policies, I feel better knowing we’d have Chad in our corner to help navigate the claims process. Plus he’s just a professional, courteous and likeable guy. I highly recommend Chad as an advisor to anyone looking to review their insurance coverage needs.”

Christopher Brown, CFA | Vice President | Capital Markets
 

“Chad’s empathetic style and professionalism make him a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to insure the financial well being of themselves and their family.”
