Insurance! You need it. There is no disputing that fact. Whether for your car, your health, your home or even your life, insurance is that necessity that we just can’t go without.
Now that we all agree on that…can we also agree there are so many options out there for you and your family to choose. Different kinds of insurance, different companies to buy from, different plans to choose – it can be overwhelming.
This is where the independent insurance agency can really be your asset, your means in which to alleviate some of that stress by offering guidance in your decision making process.
But many times, one of the hardest decisions is whether or not to go with a traditional or independent agency.
So Why Independent?
There are so many benefits that accompany the independent agency. Here are just the top four:
- Individualized Plans – Because independent agencies are not bound by specific plans, we are able to really evaluate the clients’ needs and select plans that are best suited for them. Whereas a traditional insurance agency can only select from its own insurance offerings, we have an array of options from the many insurance companies we work with. What comes with this is the ability to also check prices and coverage, so typically a better deal can be made.
- Unbiased advice – Because independent insurance agencies are not selling our own insurance, we are not biased towards particular ones. We are not trying to sell you our product even if it doesn’t fit your needs. You can rest assured that when we suggest something to you, it is for your good, not our sales. This allows us to give you sound advice and guidance when making a decision. Because we deal with a variety of insurance plans on a daily basis, we are highly educated on every aspect of insurance. Insurance can be confusing, but we offer a wealth of unbiased knowledge on the subject to help you navigate your decision. You don’t have to do it alone.
- Saves you time and money – In a sense, independent agencies do the shopping for you. You tell us your needs, and we put together the best plans for those needs. We are able to look at an array of choices and find the best deal. Once you make a decision, we make sure that your rates remain competitive compared to other companies. Both the choosing process and the aftermath result in less time and money spent.
- Best customer service – Independent insurance agencies are built on client relationships. That is the biggest benefit, in my opinion. Here at American Eagle Insurance, we really do get to know and care about our customers in order to provide the best service to meet their needs. We are a local company committed to serving our community, and our customer relationships are built on that goal. Because of the smaller size, we are not juggling around clients, hurrying on to the next one. We have the flexibility to sit down and get to know our customers personally, as we know that insurance coverage really can affect the well-being of your life. At independent agencies, it’s not just about selling insurance, it’s about building trusted client relationships that last a lifetime.
All in all, independent insurance agencies are made up of brokers who seek to find the perfect fit for you and your family’s insurance. Individual brokers offer knowledgeable advice while providing personalized services, because they are committed to getting to know you and your needs. Bottom line is: once you make the decision to go with an independent agent, all of the other decisions become easy!
And, at Henry Insurance Service, we strive to find that perfect fit for you and your needs. We are the independent agency that specializes in service, specializes in making sure we are meeting ALL of your insurance needs.
