Some people think it doesn't 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 and 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: Agents who can sell you the
insurance of only one company.
·
Telephone representatives: Agents who can offer you
the insurance of one company, and only on the telephone.
·
Independent Insurance Agents: Agents who represent
an average of eight insurance companies, and research with these firms to
find you the best combination of price, coverage and services.
