5 Benefits of having an Insurance Agent

There are many benefits to using insurance agent versus some faceless insurance company on the Internet. Here are five of them:
  1. You Have Somewhere to go if You have a Question.
    If you have an online insurance policy and need a question answered, you will likely have to call an 800 number.  There are long hold times, the frequent transfers to various departments and/or repeating your situation or question to several representatives and that is if you’re lucky enough to speak to a live person!  When you call your independent insurance agent, and you have an urgent question, a distressing claim, changes to make to your policy or simply inquiries about your coverages, a familiar, live voice and a trusted answer is just a phone call away.

  2. Someone is Watching Out for You.
    At independent agencies, we conduct a full review of you policy at each renewal and when changes are made.  If there is a new discount available, there is a chance to save money for your family!  Your insurance agent wants you to save the most money while getting the best coverages possible and it is their job to work between you and the insurance company to ensure this happens.  Insurance agencies are proud to know the majority of their policy holders personally and watch out for YOU and your family!

  3. They May Help You Save Money on Other Insurance Policies.
    A major benefit to having an independent insurance agent is that they can help with all of your personal insurance needs and coverages for your family’s assets.  A vast array of insurance services are available from auto to life, renters, homeowners, boat, RV and motorcycle insurance.  Your insurance agent knows your personal needs, your family’s situation, your assets/estate and can recommend policies and coverages to save you money and ensure you’re properly covered.

  4. A Car Insurance Agent Can Keep Your Records in Order.
    Independent insurance agencies are equipped with the latest in insurance industry technology while still offering the great face-to-face customer service you’re used to.  Whether you have one or several policies, the agent in the office can access you information quickly and become easily familiar with your policy.  Agencies usually keep detailed records of your assets, as well as a history of your calls, claims and current inquires.

  5. Having a Relationship with a Person.
    These days, you can order pizza online, send flowers online, bank online, and go to school online.  The internet often replaces face-to-face interaction and it can be difficult to remember how beneficial it is to talk to a live person.  If you are in a car accident, your computer cannot answer questions about your coverages or obtain certain paperwork for you.  Having an insurance agent offers the benefits of having a business relationship with an actual human being who cares for you and your family.
