Many people are not aware of what it means to work with an insurance broker. Insurance brokers offer a service with many benefits. An insurance broker is someone who is not employed by an insurance company but they are licensed insurance agents. Their job is to advise clients on their insurance needs and search out the best policy on their behalf with the insurers.
Why get your insurance through a broker instead of going straight to the insurance company?
Many people have the assumption that buying directly from the insurance company will save you time and money. It’s actually the exact opposite. An insurance broker's job is to find the best policy at the best price by using a plethora of insurance companies that the broker works with. Instead of someone calling multiple insurance companies to try to find the best policy at the most affordable price they can use an insurance broker to do that for them.
You are probably thinking, "What additional cost or fees are associated with using an
insurance broker?" Believe it or not there are no fees or additional costs when getting your insurance policy through an insurance broker. The cost of the policies are exactly the same as they would be if you went to the insurance company directly. So that brings up the question of how do insurance brokers get paid? The insurance companies pay the insurance brokers commission for their service.
