You are correct, agents can’t control an insurers premiums. However, good agents work with an extensive portfolio of insurers and should know which companies will offer the best rates for each clients individual situations. Good agents also answer the phone or get back to you quickly and are both friendly and helpful. The Villages insurance wasn’t cutting the mustard on any of those fronts so we dumped them about three years ago.
