An Independent Agent Why Choose a Professional Independent Agent....?

When you’re in the market for insurance, there are three ways you can purchase coverage:

1. Professional Independent Agents
Your local Professional Independent Agent represents several quality insurance companies that offer different policies, different pricing structures and optional endorsements.

2. Captive Agents
3. Telephone / internet representatives
"On a recent vehicle claim my neighborhood professional independent agent coordinated the estimate, contacted the windshield replacement company of my choice, had a conference call with the insurance company, which I was a part of, and we had the windshield replaced and ready to go that same morning. Our camping trip that afternoon was not affected by this claim. I could not have gotten that level of service from an agent representing only one company, a telephone sales person and for sure not through the internet." - Steve Mueller – Chilton, WI
"Our family-owned business has been serving Southern Wisconsin for over 75 years. We trust our local, independent agent as they provide us with great service and the quality products we expect and deserve." - Steve Walker, President Typically offer your coverage from one insurance company

Try to make your needs fit within their company’s policy

-Help friends and neighbors manage risk.

-Provide personal support and service.

-They get to know you and your situation so they can better answer your questions and suggest the best coverage to meet your needs.

"As small business owners, we have always placed great value in doing business with people we know and trust. Our independent agent is one of those people. We feel we have always received the best value when dealing with our independent agent. They provide us with the best coverage and competitive rates for all our insurance needs. We always have our homeowners insurance through our independent agent. On a recent claim for damages to our boat, our agent was prompt, courteous and handled our claim with the utmost care." - Juergen and Mary Foerster

More Tips:

Generally offer your coverage from one insurance company if...
-you are not located in your neighborhood and are not part of your community

-Are unable to provide personal support or service

-They can find an insurance company and policy that fits you because they represent several companies, not just one. They don’t try to make you fit into a company or policy. They understand that different people and different situations need different kinds of insurance
