Switching Insurance Agents
♫ Sunday, March 27th, 2011What happens when you’re ready to switch insurance agents? If something happens at your local insurance office and you’re no longer comfortable dealing with the same people, it may be time to look somewhere else.
Many companies still use the agency-model for selling and servicing policies. State Farm, Allstate, Nationwide, & Farmers are major auto insurers that still use local agents. That means if you want to get insurance from these companies, you are usually dealing with a local agent. There are now exceptions to that rule, but that’s still the norm.
There are a couple of good reasons you might want to look for another agent. For one, you have a bad experience with the agency. For instance, the agency staff may speak to you in condescending tones any time you have a problem. Or it may take awhile for you to get new insurance cards if you lose them.
Bad service on a consistent basis is a good reason to leave your current insurance agent. Agents are paid a commission on every policy they sell and service. If your agent doesn’t respect the person who pays their bills (you), it’s probably time to take your business elsewhere.
