Why an Independent Agent?

When shopping for any insurance, most people are unaware that there are different kinds of agents that are available to choose from. Choosing the right one can make a substantial difference in securing the combination of price and value.

With a captive insurance agent, you only get the guidance of one company that sells one brand of insurance. With an independent agent, not only do you get eight or more different choices of companies to choose from this also allows the price flexibility that all consumers look for.

This is because an independent insurance agent, represents multiple brands, and compare coverage and prices to the best possible value for your individual circumstances. Independent agents are usually vested members of your community who are committed to doing business face-to-face and being your advocate in times of need.

They also:

·         Work for you when you have a claim.

·         Are not beholden to any one company. This means you don’t have to change agencies as your insurance and service needs change.

·         Are your consultants, working with you as you determine your needs?

·         Are value-hunters who look after your pocketbook in finding the combination of price, coverage, and service?

·         Offer one-stop shopping for a full range of products, including home, renters, and auto, business, life, health, and retirement plans.

·         Can periodically review your coverage to keep up with your changing insurance needs.

·         Are committed to customer satisfaction-it’s the key to their livelihood.

·         Treat you like a person, not a number.

·         Are licensed professionals with a strong customer and community ties?
