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 are limited to a single company's rates
• Check to see how long the agent has been in business

Insurance Buying Tip

Consider combining your home and auto coverage together for additional discounts. Most companies in Seattle provide major savings if you combine policies with one company.
