Advantages of Talking to a Local Homeowners Insurance Agent

July 15, 2009 - PRLog -- Insurance agents are not conniving, sneaky, ingenious salespeople trying to look for ways to make money from you into buying insurance products. Actually they are just the same as you and me. The difference between us is that insurance agents know more about their profession than you do, kind of like your accountant/CPA, or Dentist, etc.  If you owned you own business, you wouldn’t necessarily do your income tax returns.  Or if you had a cavity you wouldn’t be drilling your own tooth.  

There is a website called InsureMyHouse.com that realizes the internet is endangering the local insurance broker and is quick to note insurance professionals are not expendable like employees. They are found on the 1st page of Google under: house insurance, local insurance agent, homeowners insurance agent, local homeowners insurance, and thousands more to numerous to mention.

There are so many advantages of having and knowing your local insurance agent in your area, some of which include:

-Setting up your insurance policy in person with a local agent will help give you balance of coverage while at the same time give you pricing based upon your individual situation and status
-Getting advice on your territory rating that only someone who lives and works in your area would know about
-Learn how to save money by getting multiple policy discounts that are available for your situation
-Having someone who knows the risks and possible coverages you need specific to your area that should be thought of when obtaining a policy. For example, areas highly affected by flood, theft, etc.
-Get answers when you need them when events happen - For example, your house has a tree fall on it from lightning and you need to talk to a local agent who can see what the damage looks like right away
-Being able to talk to the same person each time you call with a question or need to change something to your insurance policy
-Supporting your community by supporting a local small business.
