Some people think it doesn't really matter where they buy their insurance. But this misconception
could be costing them money, service and protection. Buying insurance isn't like buying bread or
milk. Insurance is an important safety net for your family, your home, your car or your business.
Don't treat the purchase lightly!
There is a difference in where you buy your protection. Many people don't realize there are three
sources for insurance:
Captive Agents, who can sell you the insurance of only one company.
Telephone Representatives, who can offer you the insurance of one company, and only on the telephone.
Independent Insurance Agents, who represent an average of eight insurance companies, and research with
these firms to find you the best combination of price, coverage and service.
Your Independent Insurance Agent:
Is a licensed professional with strong customer and community ties.
Gives you excellent service and competitive prices because your agent can access the insurance coverage from more than one company.
Unlike other agents, is not beholden to any one company; thus, you don't need to change agencies as your insurance and service needs change.
Assists you when you have a claim.
Is your consultant, working with you as you determine your needs.
Offers you a choice of insurance plans and programs.

serving you is a very important concern.
