The Benefits Of Working With An Independent Insurance Agent
Working with a WRI independent agent can help you find the best combination of price, coverage, and service.
Captive Agents vs. Independent Insurance Agents
There are two primary types of insurance agents. Captive agents are employees of one insurance company and can only write policies for that company. This means they are limited to their company’s coverage plans.
Independent Insurance Agents, however, are able to source from a variety of reputable national and local providers. Independent agents have access to many different insurance carriers and research these firms to find you the best combination of price, coverage, and service. They have the flexibility to offer a broader range of options at highly competitive prices, so you get a personally tailored plan to suit your needs and budget. Plus, as your needs and your life changes, you can switch coverage, and companies if necessary, without finding a new agent.
Best of all, they are able to offer unparalleled and unbiased advocacy to their customers, from quotes to claims. Overall, customer satisfaction is the key to an independent agent's livelihood. Serving you is your independent agent's most important job!
