What is a Insurance Agent?
An Insurance Agent is a licensed professional who acts as an intermediary between insurance companies and clients. They specialize in assessing risk exposure and matching clients with appropriate insurance policies that provide financial protection against potential losses. These professionals must be knowledgeable about various insurance products, regulations, and underwriting guidelines while maintaining the necessary state licenses to operate legally. Insurance agents typically work either as captive agents representing a single insurance company or as independent agents who can offer policies from multiple carriers.
What does a Insurance Agent do?
Insurance Agents meet with clients to evaluate their insurance needs and financial situations, then recommend suitable coverage options from available policies. They explain policy terms, conditions, and exclusions to ensure clients understand their protection.
