Why choose and insurance broker and not a bank, agent or an 800 number?
An agent, a bank, or a voice on the other end of an 800 number have only one insurance market to choose from. They cannot offer choices, as there is only one coverage offered, and one set of rates available. A broker, on the other hand, works for you, the consumer. They have access to several insurance markets to help increase your choice in a competitive market. You want the best possible coverage at the most reasonable price. When all is said and done, it is all about the service you receive in the unfortunate event of a claim. You want to be able to sit across the table with a professional who can help you sort out your questions and concerns; and help you get through the trying times. Remember, insurance is not just a piece of paper; it is a promise of service to be provided in the even of a claim. That's where Newman, Oliver & McCarten excels.
