Why an Independent Agent?
Because You Want an Agent Who Helps You
These days, you have many choices in how to buy your insurance. For example, insurance television commercials advertise 1-800 numbers or online options and tout how easy their coverage is to buy.
What they don’t help you with is whether it’s the right choice for you.
And how could they know?
Buying your insurance online or through a 1-800 number will get you insurance quickly, and you might even get it cheaply, but it may not be great coverage for you.
Chances are, you’ll never speak to the customer service rep who sold you the coverage again. Do you have a problem with your insurance? You’ll probably be speaking to someone else.
Have a question about whether to file a claim? Prepare to talk to a third person. In fact, you’ll probably talk to a different person every time you call.
Not All Local Agents Are Created Equal
A local agent can provide the personalized service you can’t receive online or from a 1-800.
Local agents are members of your community who will meet with you and develop a relationship so that they have a better idea of your unique, ongoing insurance needs.
Some local agents work for only one insurer and, as a result, the options come from their one and only company.
If they only have one company available, then you don't know how that policy coverage and price stacks up against their competitors unless you do the work of getting several quotes.
A Local, Independent Agent Helps You
A local, independent agent can take the time to help you find the right coverage for your individual situation. They can also provide a range of choices that a local agent bound to one insurance company simply can’t.
An independent, local agent takes time to discuss your needs and the things that are important to you, then offers great coverage to you from a whole host of companies.
Beyond that, a local agent develops a long-term business relationship with you and your family.
Whenever you have a question about changes in coverage, you can simply call your local, independent agent and know that you’re receiving prudent advice. When a mishap strikes, and you need someone you can trust, your local agent is nearby to help.
Additionally, your relationship with your independent agent will last for years.
