Independent Insurance Agent
Most people know very little about insurance and what exactly is covered by their insurance policies. How then do people find and purchase the right risk cover? This is where an independent insurance agent can help you.
If you are currently insured via one of the direct insurance providers and are not happy, consider using an insurance broker instead. Unlike a captive or sales agent a broker acts as an independent insurance agent. Insurance brokers act as a facilitator between clients and insurance companies. You as a client would approach a broker and let them know what type of insurance you require. They will then look for the best cover to match your needs.
As an independent insurance agent they have access to numerous insurance carriers and can find several options for you to choose from. You do not need to pay a broker for his/her services as the insurance company which you finally select will pay them a commission.
Insurance brokers not only find suitable policies for their clients, but are also invaluable sources of information. Good brokers know what is happening in the insurance industry and can provide information on the stability of various insurance companies and their claim pay-out history. They can also explain potentially confusing insurance jargon to you.
