Top 4 Reasons You Need An Independent Insurance Agent

1/24/2021

10 Comments

Have you considered working with a local Wisconsin insurance company?
​

Would you like to work with someone that thinks about what’s best for you and your bottom line?

Have you thought about reviewing your insurance plan this year and would like expert advice when you do?

As technology continues to make remedial tasks easier and easier in our day-to-day lives, it’s no wonder so many people are buying insurance with just a few easy clicks on their computer. Purchasing home, life, auto, and even business insurance online can be done with ease and without ever having to speak with an agent. 

So, you may be thinking, why would I ever need to contact independent insurance agencies?

Today I will explain the benefits of independent agents and how I can often help my clients in several different ways that a large insurance company can’t.

        Ready? Let’s get started!


An Independent Insurance Agent
​Can Craft You An Excellent Policy

Picture

  • One of the benefits of independent agents is that we will listen to your needs and create coverage options that work for you. As an independent agent with decades of experience in the field, I can recommend products that other captive agents may not even be aware of. 
  • I will find the perfect coverage options and help you choose from the policies that can save you money on top of creating a plan that is perfectly tailored to your needs.

An Independent Agent
​Can Offer Unparalleled Advice

Picture

  • As your personal agent, I can review your current coverage and advise you on what property will be covered and what will not. Unfortunately, I all too often find many of my new clients with coverage that was purchased from national insurance companies online and they are unsure of what will be included in their policies.
  • This has led to many independent agents getting a bad wrap by association and a majority of the complaints I hear could’ve been easily avoided with some simple customer service during the purchasing process.
  • I can help you avoid this common insurance issue by reviewing your plan and ensuring that you understand your coverage and that any home, life, or auto insurance questions are answered when you purchase your policy. 

An Independent Insurance Agent
Can Offer Expert Advice With Your Claim

Picture

  • When something terrible happens to one of my customers, I want to be one of the trusted people that you can reach out to when it comes to filing an insurance claim. Independent Wisconsin insurance agents like myself can guide you through the pros and cons of reporting an incident to insurance companies.
  • Independent insurance agents will have your best interest in mind as you decide whether or not to pay out of pocket and what is the smartest option for your bottom line in both the short and long term. ​
​I aim to make any bad situation a positive one by finding
​my customers solutions that avoid headaches down the road
!

An Independent Insurance Agent
Can Be Your Best Advocate

Picture

  • Nearly all insurance claims are filed and dealt with in an expert fashion by your insurance companies claim adjuster. However, there are rare occurrences when things don’t go as planned and get more complex than expected. 
  • The great news is that when you have an independent agent behind you, things tend to be resolved with ease. I can be your most powerful advocate when you are dealing with your insurance company and will help to ensure that you will come to an agreeable resolution.

Thanks for pointing out that having an independent insurance agent would be able to resolve the case while advocating for your needs and rights. With that in mind, my sister should hire an independent auto insurance agent after her car has been totaled this afternoon. Luckily, she was in the establishment buying stuff when that happened, since she might have been injured very badly due to the impact that the other car did when it slid down the parking area.

How great that you mention how it is so easy to find insurance online. I am moving to a new area this month. I will also find a great insurance agency in the new area.

I want to make sure that I have the best insurance plan for me. It makes sense that working with an independent insurance specialist would be a good way to help me out with this. They would be able to ensure that I get an insurance plan that's perfect for me.

I love that you pointed out how the independent insurance agents will ensure that they got your back, since your best interest is their priority. This will help me find the car insurance agent that I will hire for myself now that I plan to get my own vehicle this coming December. In that case, I have to do my research to know more about their experience, background, credentials, and the reviews they have gotten from previous clients. Once I have done my research, I can finally hire the best one in town to get me the deal that is within my budget.

It's great that you explained that an independent insurance agent will have your best interests in mind. I would think that it would be a good idea to use an independent agent when you are looking for a home and vehicle insurance policy. Cars and houses are important investments, so you would want an agent that is going to take the time to find the perfect insurance for you.

It's helpful to know that an independent insurance agent will support us when trying to resolve a claim. My cousin wants to find insurance for his business before he opens it next month. I'll suggest he looks for an insurance agent who helps him through the whole process of finding a plan.
