2 Reasons Why You Should You Should Use an Insurance Broker
There are several reasons why you would want to work with an insurance broker. Today we will just focus on 2 reasons. But before we look at the two reasons let’s see what an insurance broker is and compare it to other insurance professionals such as insurance agents.
What is an insurance broker?
An insurance broker uses their professional knowledge and experience to help you properly assess your insurance requirements. They should shop the best value in insurance coverage and help you in the event of a claim. An insurance broker works for you and not the insurance company. They represent many different insurance companies but are not employed by them.
What is an insurance agent?
A captive insurance agent can only sell insurance for the insurance company that employs them. In the USA the term Independent Agent is commonly used as an Insurance Broker. An independent agent can sell insurance for many companies and do not work for an insurance company.
Here are two reasons why using a insurance broker is your best bet:
An insurance broker represents many different insurance companies. This means the insurance brokerage has a contract with several different insurance companies to offer the insurance companies insurance products to consumers. An insurance broker is not limited to shopping their client’s insurance requirements to just one insurance company like a captive agent. For the consumer this means there is a better opportunity to save money. An insurance broker can shop the market for a new client or even an existing client when the client’s renewal comes around.
Since a broker has a wide selection of some of the best insurance companies across Canada, a broker has more opportunity to attain the right coverage or hard to place coverage. Once a broker properly assesses your insurance requirements, they do the shopping for you and find you the right coverage at a competitive price.
