Using an Independent Insurance Agent....Advantages

The insurance consumer is bombarded daily with offers from Direct Writers such as GEICO and State Farm. These companies promise to save money as well as make the insurance transaction easy and painless. The truth is, when you have a claim the last thing on your mind is how much you paid for the coverage. Do you shop online or deal with a toll free number for your families taxes, medical and legal advice? Probably not. Using an Independent Insurance Agent like Ancient City Insurance has the advantage that the person that sold you the policy will also service it. They have a variety of insurance companies to offer, not just one, and their focus is to service your needs for many years, not to just pull you in with a low rate. They are also members of your community and know your friends and neighbors. So next time you get an offer from a Direct Writer, think twice, you need a person other than just someone at the end of the phone to keep your family protected.
