About Independent Agents
Do you think it doesn't
really make any difference where you buy insurance?
This misconception could be costing
you money, service and protection. Buying insurance isn't like
buying groceries or clothing.
Insurance is an important safeguard
for your family, your home, your car or your business. Make
your decision carefully!
There are different types of
agents that sell insurance:
Captive Agents - those
who are only able to sell the insurance of one company.
Direct Response Representatives
- Those who offer you the insurance of one company, and only
over the telephone when you call for a quote.
Independent Insurance Agents
- Represent a varying range of insurance companies, and research
with these firms to find the best combination of price, coverage
and service for each individual.
