Why Choose an Independent Agent?
Gateway Insurance Agency is a member of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America, the largest professional organization for independent insurance agents.
But what is an independent insurance agent
and why should it matter to you?
For many people, insurance is a bewildering topic. Most people know that they need insurance, but don't understand much about it. Furthermore, the law requires some insurance, such as auto insurance and mandatory workers comp. Other kinds of insurance make good sense because it can help protect and replace important and valuable assets.
When it comes to buying insurance, there are many choices and decisions. Because an independent agent does not represent and work for only one company, the agent is in a position to better advise and serve the customer by offering many alternatives, products, and services.
While many insurance companies offer similar products and coverages, each company is unique with respect their own ions, pricing, and many other variables. An independent agent's job is know what those variables and ions might be, advise you, the insurance customer, and help you get the best coverage for your specific need and budget.
