Why an Independent
Insurance Agent?
Some people think
it doesn't really matter where they buy their insurance. But this
misconception could be costing them money, service and protection.
Buying insurance isn't like buying bread or milk. Insurance is an
important safety net for your family, your home, your car or your
business. Don't treat the purchase lightly!
There is a difference
in where you buy your protection. Many people don't realize there
are three sources for insurance:
- Captive Agents,
who can sell you the insurance of only one company.
- Telephone Representatives,
who can offer you the insurance of one company, and only on the
telephone.
- Independent
Insurance Agents, who represent an average of eight insurance companies,
and research with these firms to find you the best combination of
price, coverage and service.
Your
Independent Insurance Agent:
- Is
a licensed professional with strong customer and community ties.
- Gives you excellent
service and competitive prices because your agent can access the
insurance coverage from more than one company.
- Unlike other
agents, is not beholden to any one company; thus, you don't need
to change agencies as your insurance and service needs change.
- Assists you
when you have a claim. Is your consultant, working with you as you
determine your needs.
- Offers you
a choice of insurance plans and programs.
- Is a value
hunter who looks after your pocketbook in finding the best combination
of price, coverage and service.
- Offers one-stop
shopping for a full range of products-home, renters, auto, business,
life and health.
- Can periodically
review your coverage to keep up with your changing insurance needs.
- Treats you
like a person, not just another number.
- Customer satisfaction
is the key to an independent agent's livelihood. So,
serving you is your independent agent's most-important concern.
