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 insurance agents are not tied to one company
• Captive agents only work for one company
• Agents with more experience are better at spotting coverage gaps
