Have you ever tried to compare insurance quotes online only to find that you weren’t finding the right coverage at an affordable price? While you’ve probably seen a million different ads for direct insurance providers that say cutting out the middleman will save you big on your insurance premiums, often that just isn’t the case. Buying insurance is serious business, but most people don’t know that there is more than one way to buy.
In addition to going directly to a large national provider, you can choose to work with a captive agent who has a thorough knowledge of a single company or an independent agent who works with a large number of insurance providers. There can be advantages to both but if you’re searching for many different coverage options at the best prices, then working with an independent agent is the right way to go. Keep reading to learn more about the advantages of shopping with an independent insurance agent.
Going Local: What Are the Biggest Benefits of Using an Independent Insurance Agency?
More Choices
You don’t have to know a lot about insurance to understand the benefits of getting to shop around for the best value before you buy. You wouldn’t buy a car from the first dealership you looked at online before comparing your options elsewhere. So why simply go with the first insurance company you get a quote from?
When you work with an independent agent, you have access to dozens and maybe even hundreds of different insurance providers across the country. This means that you can explore the best coverage options out there to tailor your policy to fit your needs and make sure that you’re not overpaying for insurance protection.
Additionally, you can save a ton of time by relying on your agent to asses your needs and using their connections to find the best options out there. They do all of the actual shopping, while you can enjoy the savings. And while they do earn a commission from the process, you can trust that an independent agent is giving you an unbiased opinion because they aren’t indebted to a single provider.
Local Connection
When you go with a local insurance agent, you get the opportunity to work with one of your neighbors. They know what it’s like to live in the Grafton & Thiensville area just like you and can recommend different coverages based on that knowledge. Sure, a national insurance provider may have a team that knows Wisconsin can experience harsh winters, but your local agents understand the need for additional property insurance coverage to help pay for damages in the event of inclement weather.
