What Is An Independent Agent?

Insurance Agent Shaking Hands with ClientDoes it make any difference where you buy your insurance?

Yes, it does! Not using an Independent Insurance Agent could cost you money, service and peace of mind. Your biggest assets are your home, business and automobile. Don’t treat the purchase lightly.

There is a difference in where you buy your protection. You may not realize there are four sources for insurance:

Square Button  Captive Agents, who can only sell you the insurance of just one company.

Square Button  Telephone Representatives, who can offer you insurance only over the phone and from only one company.

Square Button  Internet Sites where you can fill out an application online and get an insurance policy without any help or direction from a qualified professional. These sites are usually also limited to offering insurance from just one company.

Square Button  Independent Insurance Agents, who represent several companies and can easily find you the best coverage and the most affordable price.

With your Independent Insurance Agent, there is a difference:

Square Button  A highly trained consultant, working with you to determine your insurance needs.

Square Button  Offering you a choice of insurance plans and programs.

Square Button  Providing competitive prices because your Independent Insurance Agent has access to the policies of many companies.

Square Button  Personally assisting you when you have a claim for file.

Square Button  Offering you one-stop shopping for a full-range of insurance products and services such as home, auto, renters, business, health, life and specialty needs.

When you buy insurance, whether it’s for your home, car or business, you want a trained professional who will work hard to assess your insurance needs. You want someone who can offer you the best service, best protection and the best prices. That someone is your local Independent Insurance Agent….The more than one company agent.
