Why choose an independent agent?
There is a difference. 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:
1. Captive Agents, who can sell you the insurance of only
one company.
2. Telephone Representatives, who can offer you the insurance
of one company, and only on the telephone.
3. 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:
Gives you excellent service and competitive prices
because your agent can access the insurance coverage from more than one
company.
Is a licensed professional with strong client and
community ties.
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 as a client, not just another number.
Client satisfaction is the key to an independent
agent's livelihood. So serving you is your independent agent's most
important concern.
