In order to maintain strong relationships with quality insurers, we work with each to provide the type of business they desire. The insurers noted with an asterisk above recognize our efforts through a Contingent (Profit) contract which can pay us additional compensation. This payment may depend on a combination of growth, profitability, volume, retention, and increased services we provide on behalf of an insurer and is not guaranteed. It is also based on our entire portfolio of business with an insurer and not on individual policies. For more detailed information, please go to any of the above noted insurers’ websites.
We greatly appreciate your trust and look forward to building a strong relationship with you as we work to meet your insurance needs.
