Why Work with an Independent Insurance Agent?
In today’s world buying insurance is not like buying bread or milk. It is complicated and deserves the detailed attention that only an independent agent can provide. Insurance is an important safety net for your family, home, car, and business. Buying your insurance from just any agent or any company could be costing you money, service, and protection. Do not treat the purchase lightly!
There is a difference in where you buy your insurance protection; people often do not realize there are three sources for insurance:
- Captive Agents, who can sell you the insurance of only one company.
- Telephone Representatives, who can offer you the insurance of one company, and only on the telephone.
- Independent Insurance Agents, who represent an average of eight insurance companies, and research with these firms to find you the best combination of price, coverage, and service. Retka Insurance Center falls into this category, representing and coordinating coverage with more than twenty insurance companies.
