Texas Auto Insurance - Independent Agent's relationship with a Texas Auto Insurance Company
A successful Independent Agent should have a good relationship with the client they are servicing as well as the Texas Auto Insurance Company they are working with to receive their quotes. The keyword is working with. A good independent agent works in conjunction with multiple high quality Texas auto insurance companies to bring you the best Texas auto insurance policy at the most affordable rates, possible. If the agent doesn't like the quote that he or she gets from one insurance company, they should look to another insurance company that they have in their insurance portfolio.
The agent may have a preference in which Texas auto insurance companies that they like to deal with, but in the end, must realize and keep in mind that they are working for the client. The agent must be familiar with all of the insurance companies that he or she has. The independent insurance agent should know which Texas auto insurance company is more or less favorable to high risk drivers. The agent should know which insurance company offer certain discounts under certain criteria, which insurance company has stricter underwriting reviewers, and which insurance companies has a better reputation for processing auto insurance claims,etc.
The agent must be keenly aware of the needs of the client. The independent agent should do a brief, informal interview with the prospective client so that the client could be better served. For the good of all - the auto insurance specialist, the Texas auto insurance company, and most importantly, the client, an agent must be able to clearly distinguish his or her relationship with both.

Wow, do you make a great point. Unfortunately, in practice, there are too many agents who are in bed with their buddies in the industry, and the client gets shortchanged - or at least lied to - every time. Is it a wonder that clients see agents as crooks??

As an independent broker, I always make sure to maintain good relationships with my insurance providers. That way I can give my clients the best price I can get for them. It's like all business relationships, whether it's a product or a service, really.

I totally agree. Of course, independent agents want to keep good relationships with all their providers so they can have good prices for their clients. Thanks for a great, informative post!

You give a great description of what that relationship should look like - well done. Too bad that too many agents neglect the client's needs in favor of their cozy buddyship with dealers and ins companies.

I agree with the last commenter--sometimes independent brokers take advantage of their supposedly more neutral position to take advantage of clients. But most of my experience with independent agents have been very positive, so I would recommend them first.

Of course this is what the relationship should be like, but does it translate in the real world? I am all for ideals and unbiased business relationships but as the last commenter says, there is a lot of buddyship going on.
