Benefits of Using an Independent Agent
Every day you are bombarded by different insurance company ads. Some telling you to buy from them and their lizard directly, others telling you that you are in good hands if you buy direct. There are so many ads it is hard to know what one is right for you. That is why it is helpful to use an independent insurance agent.
Who Are Independent Agents?
Independent insurance agents represent a number of different insurance companies giving them the ability to quote a wide range of insurance products. An Independent agent has the opportunity to study and learn different carriers so they can best match you and your coverage needs to a specific carrier. If one year a carrier is competitive, and the next they are not, your independent agent can help you find a different company. That is why they are called an independent agent.
The Difference between Independent Agents and Others
When you are shopping for insurance, it’s important to have choices. You only have one choice when you purchase from agents who represent just one insurance company. Online direct insurance companies sell direct to you without even using an agent, in most cases.
An independent agent is not “captive” to any particular insurance company and is your independent advocate. An independent agent can provide you with multiple quotes from multiple carriers for you to choose from. This allows you to know you are getting the best price with the best coverage available.
