Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an insurance broker and an agent?βΎ
A broker works for YOU β they shop multiple insurance companies to find the best coverage and price. An agent works for ONE insurance company and can only sell that company's products. Brokers can compare 10-20 insurers at once, saving you time and usually money.
Does an insurance broker cost more?βΎ
No β brokers are paid by the insurance companies through commissions, not by you. The price you pay for insurance is the same whether you go through a broker or directly to the insurer. But brokers often find better rates because they can compare multiple companies.
When should I use an insurance broker?βΎ
Use a broker when: you're buying a home, getting your first car insurance, starting a business, your renewal went up significantly, you've had claims and need help finding coverage, or you simply want someone to shop the market for you.
Can a broker help if I've been denied coverage?βΎ
Yes. Brokers have access to specialty markets and high-risk insurers that aren't available to the public. If you've been denied by one company β due to claims history, driving record, or property issues β a broker can often find coverage elsewhere.
How often should I review my insurance?βΎ
At least annually at renewal time. Also review whenever you: buy or sell a home, get a new vehicle, start a business, get married or divorced, have children, or make major purchases. Your broker should proactively reach out at renewal to review your coverage.
