Who Is Your Agent, 2nd Edition

At least 5 different times each week, I discuss insurance with someone who can’t remember what insurance they have and where they have it. People are deceived into believing that they are capable of being their own insurance agent. “Call us and save 15%”, “We’re on your side.” and “Ask your neighbor”, these are just some of the things you hear that lead you to believe you can figure it out on your own.

How do I know? Because I used to believe the exact same thing. “It’s just insurance”, I would tell myself. “You gotta shop around every couple of years to keep those dudes honest”. That’s another gem from the Warner Phelps vault of insurance misinformation.

The truth is that your insurance coverage is complex and even after almost 3 years in the insurance business, I still learn something new every day. There is so much going on behind the scenes that the typical consumer would never know, much less understand.

For that reason alone, I advocate always using an insurance agent you believe, like and trust. I’m not the only one. There are many more out there. I may not even be the best fit for you. But I will tell you that and I will give you honest and free advice regarding your insurance coverage. At the irreducible minimum, you’re at least able to have someone confirm what you think you know. Can’t beat that!
