7 Reasons to Choose an Independent Insurance Agency
When you’re looking for the right insurance, it’s important to consider all available options to find the coverage and policies that are right for you. But between comparing prices and researching policies, buying insurance can feel complex and overwhelming. As a result, many people choose to work with independent insurance agencies, enjoying input from licensed experts who will help compare your options between a wide selection of insurance carriers.
Greater Options and More Convenience
Independent agencies aren’t tied to one carrier. Instead they work with multiple carriers to give their clients a wide array of options to easily compare coverage and prices. Imagine you’re shopping for a new television. If you go to the Apple Store, you’ll see a selection of televisions, but all are the same brand so the options are limited. Most insurance agencies function like this. At SFM Insurance, we work with 16 well-established carriers to find the best policy for your specific needs. In addition, independent agencies offer customers the opportunity to handle all their insurance needs from auto, home, health and life insurance to business insurance.
Knowledge and Expertise
Finding the right policy on your own can be difficult. Some insurance agencies offer cookie-cutter policies based on what the average customer needs. That’s why it helps to have the guidance and insight of professionals with years of expertise in the insurance industry. In addition to their years of experience, independent insurance agents are able to have an extended conversation about your needs to best protect your assets and give you a customized policy.
Personalized Service
With many companies switching to automated customer service, trying to talk to the right person when filing a claim or looking to purchase a new policy is often difficult and time-consuming. At SFM Insurance, we believe in person-to-person interaction. Whether you’re filing a claim or looking to review your current coverage, our agents will guide you through the process every step of the way.
Peace of Mind
By choosing to work with an independent insurance agent you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you’re saving money while getting the policies and coverage that are right for you. Independent insurance agents work hard to find you the best options available rather than sell you unnecessary add-ons.
Lasting Relationships
