6 Advantages of Using an Independent Life Insurance Agent

What makes an independent life insurance agent different than a company agent? Easy. One matches their products to their clients. The other needs to match their customers to the select products they have available. So which one offers you the better deal?

Always ask yourself this one very important question before you choose a life insurance policy:

“Am I getting the best life insurance policy at the best value?”

If you didn’t shop around then you probably aren’t!

A rash decision to buy life insurance could easily end up costing you hundreds of dollars extra. Or ends up being a life insurance product that doesn’t properly meet your needs.

This is why you should always take a little extra time to use the services of an independent life insurance agent.

Why? Well, that’s a valid question and I am going to give you plenty of reasons why there are many advantages in using an independent life insurance agent.

1. An Independent Life Insurance Agent Gives You a Competitive Advantage

Most people don’t realize that there are two different types of life insurance agents. There are company or “captive agents” and there are independent

Let our independent life insurance agents find you the most affordable policies!

agents like our team at Abrams Insurance.

A company agent only represents one life insurance company. He or she can only offer the products sold by their company at the rates they company has established because that’s how their employment contract works. They can’t give you customized products and they can’t offer you a better rate.

An independent agent is not restricted to any one company’s products. He or she has access to dozens of life insurance options. A good one will do the comparison shopping for you so you get potential policies that reflect your situation. That way you get the best products to suit your particular needs and at the best rates.

2. Independent Life Insurance Agent Can Save You Hundreds of Dollars Every Year

An independent agent will always find you the most competitive rate on life insurance.

Keep in mind that not all life insurance companies are the same. Some companies are more cautious in how they rate people and others are more lenient. Even the more lenient companies vary in how they rate people based on age and medical history.

Independent agents use their vast industry knowledge to save you hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars every year. Because life insurance is a long term investment, it’s worth the extra time to delegate the work of finding the best policy for you to someone who knows the ins and outs.

3. An Independent Life Insurance Agent Can Help People With Health Issues

Millions of Americans have or will develop health issues. This can include obesity, heart conditions, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, high cholesterol levels and much more.

Many insurance companies are overly-cautious about who they’ll accept. With certain companies you have to be the textbook definition of healthy to get a policy at a reasonable rate.

Because the independent agent knows which companies are conservative, they can steer you to the best company for your particular health issue. The independent agent can also find you the best premium rates for your health condition.

4. An independent Life Insurance Agent Can Provide You With Customized Products

Everyone has different life insurance needs and these needs can vary considerably. For example, many entrepreneurs and small business people need loans to run their business.

Most lenders require a life insurance policy in order to secure a business loan since it leaves them at risk. Lenders will often try to bundle in a policy that meet the bank’s requirements, but it might not be the best policy for you.

An independent life insurance agent can take of that for you.

Additionally, an independent agent will find the right product that suits your individual concerns. For example, they can tell you all about different life insurance riders that provide added protection to your coverage. Popular riders are return of premium, disability income rider, critical illness rider.

If you have more complex life insurance needs such as for a permanent life insurance policy, an independent agent can discuss your financial and life insurance investment needs to sort through the many hybrid policies available to find the product that suits you best.
