Top 12 List for Independent Insurance Agency, Plus A Bonus
During some period of your life, you’ll probably need the services of an independent insurance agent, maybe in Lubbock, Texas. Let’s face it, auto, homeowners, business, health, disability, and life insurance can prevent financial disaster in times of crisis. And, good insurance is peace of mind.
An outstanding insurance agent can help you protect all of your assets, including your money.
But, how do you ever find an outstanding insurance agent? Would you know one if you meet one? What if your agency has several insurance agents? How do you know if they are all competent?
Here is a list of qualities of an outstanding insurance agency. Does your agency have this caliber of agents?:
1. Qualified, competent, certified. What credentials do the agents have? Are the agents certified? Are any of the agents Certified Insurance Counselors? Can they consult with you, or just sell you a policy? Professional credentials are the mark of a licensed, educated professional. Don’t you want to work with a pro? (compare this to the difference between a bookkeeper and a certified CPA)
2. Does the agency represent several major insurance carriers, and types of insurance products? An experienced agency will be able to find you the best and cheapest insurance because they can choose from a wider variety of carriers. INSIDER FACT: insurance carriers only work with competent, proven agencies. If your agency works with a large number of carriers, then rest assured that agency has been thoroughly vetted by those insurance carriers.
BONUS: Some independent insurance agencies do charge a fee for their services. Other independent agencies do Not charge any extra fees for their services. So, look for the agency that does not charge any extra for their expert, hard-earned advice and experience. FYI, Hettler Insurance Agency in Lubbock, Texas is an agency that does Not charge any extra fees. You pay the same as if you had spoken directly with Progressive, Geico, etc. The only difference is that you get a ton of experience, expert advice, and customer service all for free.
