Tips for Finding an Agent

• Do not rely on yellow page ads
• If the agent is too busy to sit down with you, find a different agent
• Independent insurance agents are not tied to one company
• Captive agents are limited to a single company's rates
• Ask for their license number and if they balk, find a new agent

Insurance Buying Tip

If at all possible, never allow your home or auto policies to expire. It may be impossible to get insurance again in Illinois and policy premiums may be significantly higher than before.

Call Consumer First at (847) 805-1880 or visit them in Hoffman Estates to get an insurance review.
