The Jewels Benefits Difference
There is a difference between an agent and a broker. Agents often represent the insurance company, and their first commitment lies with that company. Brokers have one commitment, a focused attention to our clients’ needs and helping them customize insurance coverage which is backed by financially sound carriers.
