Independent Insurance Agent | Things You Should Know


So what is an Independent Insurance Agent?

There are many benefits to working with a local Greenville Independent Insurance Agent. You need insurance, we all do. From Auto Insurance to Home Owners Insurance, Toy Insurance (ya know, Motorcycles and Boats) heck we even have access to Pet Insurance.

So you moved to one of the surrounding areas like Simpsonville, Mauldin or live down the street in Five Forks. We are your people for sure.

You begin looking and discover that there is a difference, independent or captive… What is the difference and what does it mean?

An Independent Insurance Agent, like Ken or Kevin, is trained and licensed professionals that takes the time to understand. Then develop an insurance solution that is tailored to meet your specific needs. How? Because we work with not one, but dozens of insurance carriers. We are local and better understand the market. Our independent firms success is based on our clients success, we do not work for the insurance companies, we work for you.

A captive agent, works primarily with their company. Companies, like State Farm, Allstate, and Geico can be good captive insurance companies, but not always best.

What is the main difference between an Independent Insurance Agent and others?

Perhaps the biggest difference is choice. More of them, Premier Insurance Consultants has access to over a dozen different carriers. While captive or exclusive agents only offer one insurance company’s insurance products. They are bound to place all of your insurance with that one company.

We know you have a choice when it comes to choosing and insurance agent, doesn’t it make sense that your independent agent should be able to serve you with as many options, to give you the insurance coverage that is best for you? That is what Premier Insurance Consultants of Greenville is all about.
