Why Choose an Independent Agent
I’m often asked, “Why choose an independent agent?”. For starters, some of the best and longest standing insurance companies offer their products exclusively through the independent agent channel.
Coincidence? Probably not…Independent agents like myself are partners you can trust and have the tools to make your life easier and ensure that your program perfectly suits your business or personal needs.
Here are just a few reasons of many to choose independent agents:
1.) You have a choice
We represent a multitude of quality companies offering a variety of coverage options and pricing. The shopping is done for you, and you don’t need to spend your time online with tedious applications. Our relationships and connections in the marketplace often bring better value than what you can find on your own. Agents work with you to customize your coverage and find the right blend of coverage, price, and service.
2.) Your agent, Your advocate
You have an advocate that’s on your side if you have a problem with billing or a claim. We are representatives of the companies, but also stewards of our clients. When it comes to difficult situations, we work with the companies on your behalf and go to bat for you to ensure you’re treated right and that claims are settled equitably for both parties.
3.) Licensed experts
There are many things that require a professional’s help. For instance: If you require drafts of legal documents, you’ll probably entrust the help of an attorney. Why not take that same approach and deal with a licensed agent? Insurance can be confusing, and we can help explain complex ideas and terminology in simple ways so you can better understand. This allows you to make the best choice for yourself, your family, and your business.
4.) Trusted Advisor
We take the time to listen to your personal needs and develop a program around those needs. It’s about more than price when putting a program together, it’s about finding the right mix for you and what you care about most. We help guide you through the process by educating you and giving you the information you need along the way.
5.) Live and work in your community
We live, work, and play in the same community as you. We know it’s important to give back, and we understand the benefits and problems facing our shared community.
6.) One-Stop Shop
We can meet all of your needs – personal or commercial – all under the same roof. We represent multiple companies and can help with any insurance needs you may have.
7.) Lifetime Consultants
We stick with you and provide coverage reviews as your life evolves and your assets grow over time. We provide the relationships and service to adapt and customize your program as your life progresses. Whether you’re moving into your first apartment, starting your own business, or buying your dream car or home, we’re with you every step of the way.
8) Intimate knowledge of your account
You’re dealing with a real person you know and trust. No 1-800 numbers, general emails, or long wait times. We know that just won’t cut it, which is why we provide you with direct contacts to turn to at our agency when you need help.
