An independent insurance agent is one who offers plans from multiple providers rather than a single carrier. Though they represent various insurance companies, they are not direct employees of any one provider, which provides the client with many benefits. Below, discover a few of the advantages of working with an independent agent.

Why You Should Choose an Independent Insurance Agent

1. More Choice

Insurance shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all prospect. Different people have varying coverage needs and budgets. When you choose an agent who works for only one provider, they can only show you the policies that their employer offers. However, an independent agent will have a more comprehensive selection of plans, with different coverages, policy limits, and price points, drawn from an array of carriers. With a broader range of choices available, you will have the protection that is unique and inclusive of your goals.

2. Personalized Service

An independent agent provides an enhanced level of customer service that you can't get when working directly with a provider or a large agency. They are accessible and easily reachable, and if you need to file a claim, they will walk you through the process. Also, if you need to change insurance carriers, you don't need to change agents as well. The independent agent is a longtime ally and is someone uniquely qualified to understand your needs and concerns.

3. Greater Convenience

The average person carries several different kinds of insurance, including auto, health, life, and homeowners or renters coverage. Managing all these policies can become overwhelming. With an independent agent, you have all the insurance plans in one place and a dedicated person managing them.
