Keep it Local

In today’s digital age, it’s easy to purchase almost anything online, including insurance. While the convenience of buying insurance online may be appealing, there are several compelling reasons to consider keeping it local with an independent insurance agency instead.

First and foremost, independent agencies like Insurance Associates offer personalized service. Unlike online platforms that may provide cookie-cutter policies, an independent agent takes the time to understand your unique needs. They can recommend the best coverage options tailored to your specific situation, ensuring you are neither underinsured nor overpaying for unnecessary coverage.

Another significant advantage is access to multiple insurance carriers. Independent agents aren’t tied to a single insurance company. Instead, they work with a variety of carriers, giving them the flexibility to shop around for the best rates and coverage. This can be particularly beneficial if you have unique needs or are in a high-risk category, as your agent can find the right fit for you.

Customer service is another area where independent agents shine. When you buy insurance online, you might find yourself stuck in a maze of automated systems when you need help. With an independent agency, you have a real person you can call, whether you need to file a claim, ask a question, or adjust your policy.

Finally, working with Insurance Associates supports your local community. Independent agencies are often small businesses, meaning your dollars stay local, supporting jobs and contributing to the local economy.

While online insurance purchases might be convenient, working with an independent agency is better. Give us a call at 402-371-0792.
