Tips for Choosing the Right Agent for You
Finding the right agent can make all the difference in ensuring that you get the proper insurance coverages for your budget, net worth, and future goals. There are two different kinds of agents you can choose from:
- Independent Agent. Independent agents will probably offer you policies from a variety of insurance providers.
- Captive Agent. Captive agents only sell insurance for one company.
Of course, there are also those agents who fall into both categories and they are considered independent captive agents. This means that they will represent a variety of insurance companies and receive commission from the insurance company whenever they sell one of its policies.
But how do you pick the right agent?
Whether this is your first time trying to locate the perfect insurance agent for you, or you are shopping around to see what other options are available, you should consider the following before making your insurance agent selection:
- Agents and the companies they represent are required to carry certain licensures that can be verified through your state’s insurance department.
- While people love to see letters after their names, its important to pay attention to what letters follow the names of the agents you are considering. Ask the agent what the letters mean and what it took for them to achieve the credentials they are displaying by including those letters on their business cards.
- As with any consumer good, it is imperative that you do your research and read the reviews of any company or agent you are considering. Those that have had several complaints against them should be noted and that information is provided for you by the Better Business Bureau.
