The Value of an Agent
What does "Independent Agent" mean?
We often say to people that Alta Vista Benefits is an independent insurance agency. Did you ever wonder what that really means for you as our client?
Independent agents like us represent many different insurance companies. What that means is that we give you more choices about the coverage you are looking for. We shop rates with all of the relevant carriers so you don't have to pay too much for what you need. This gives you the best value for your insurance dollar.
Once we find affordable coverage, we help you understand what you are buying and educate you about all of your choices. We help you make a choice that fits with insurance you already have and complements your personal and financial goals. We help you through the application process and keep you informed during underwriting until you are have final approval.
Alta Vista Benefits views continuing education as the best way to stay current with new products and market trends. As such, we attend educational classes well beyond what is required by the Ohio Department of Insurance. In addition, we have made several trips to Washington to visit members of Congress on your behalf. As an independent agency, we are committed to provide you with uncompromising service and up-to-date information on insurance products and legislation affecting your coverage.
If you have questions about your current coverage and whether it is right for your needs, please contact us (lucy@altavistaben.com) today. We will review all of your coverage to make sure it fits your personal situation.
