With the advancement of technology, it’s tempting to go to one of the big insurance companies and buy a policy directly. So why work with an independent insurance agent? Local independent agents are specialists. They know the area and trends. They may know what you need better than you do. And even if you do want to buy online, you’re better off consulting with them first. Several reasons to purchase insurance locally include:
Insurance agents are always on the lookout for discounts
Insurance agents want to help you save money. When you work with a local insurance agent who knows the Seattle area and trends, you are going to get the best rates available to you. Insurance agents are in competition to win your business and they know that offering the best rates is the way to get it.
Ability to choose policies from multiple insurance companies instead of one
A huge benefit for independent insurance agents is that they work with multiple insurance companies instead of one. This means they can examine several to find the best rates and coverage.
In-depth insurance knowledge
Even with relatively “simple” auto insurance, there are a lot of options to figure out and it can be overwhelming. You can overpay for a policy and not be covered in the ways that you expect. A local insurance agent works with you to understand your needs and what you may be overlooking.
All of your policies in one place
Get all of your policies – home, auto, life, health, motorcycle, business, commercial, pets and more – managed in one place. Your independent insurance agent keeps track of your insurance so you don’t have to.
