Tips for Finding an Agent

• Check for advanced agent licenses like CLU or ChFC
• If the agent is too busy to sit down with you, find a different agent
• Independent agents generally work with more companies than captive agents
• Captive agents only work for one company
• Check to see how long the agent has been in business

Insurance Buying Tip

Consider packaging your home and auto coverage together for additional discounts. The majority of insurance companies that offer coverage in Michigan, and more specifically Grand Rapids, give discounts when you combine your policies with the same company.
