Tips for Finding an Agent

• Ask friends and family for referrals
• 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
• Check to see how long the agent has been in business

Insurance Buying Tip

If at all possible, never allow your home or auto policies to expire. You may find it very hard to renew your policy and insurance rates could be significantly higher than before. Call Massachusetts Insurance System at (617) 782-5581 or visit them in Allston for more information.
