Are you suspicious of insurance agents?
You should be!
There are a lot of fishy characters out there – so I have no problem explaining to folks what they should look for in an agent.
Brandon Barrett – the owner of The Barrett Agency in Indiana came up with this list. I think it’s stellar.
What do you look for in a trustworthy agent?
Look for someone who brings knowledge, attention, choices, reputation, and a strong record to the table.
Knowledge: A great agent doesn’t just sell policies—they understand the tax and legal aspects of insurance and how it fits into your overall financial plan.
Attention: They should be attentive and patient, taking the time to explain coverages without rushing you.
Choices: Options are key, so seek out an agent who offers multiple coverage choices.
Reputation: Reputation matters, so check online reviews to find an agent who has satisfied clients. (check out our Google reviews HERE)
Strong Record: Lastly, make sure your agent stays accessible and committed, even after you’ve signed the policy.
I don’t take anyone’s trust for granted. I welcome any and all scrutiny before anyone chooses to use me as their agent.
