Did You Know? The Benefits of Choosing a Local, Independent Insurance Agent

When it comes to insurance, it can be tempting to go with large national companies or online-only platforms that promise convenience. But did you know that working with a local, independent insurance agent offers unique advantages that can’t be matched? At RT Insurance, we’re proud to serve our community as independent agents, and here are some “Did You Know” facts that highlight why choosing a local, independent agent is the smart choice for your insurance needs.

1. Did You Know? Local Agents Know Your Community

Unlike agents from national companies, local agents live and work in your area. This means they understand the specific risks and challenges your community faces—whether it’s regional weather patterns, local zoning regulations, or neighborhood safety trends.

For example, we know what coverage is essential for Midwest businesses and homeowners, from flood insurance to protecting against severe winter storms.

2. Did You Know? Independent Agents Offer More Options

Independent agents like RT Insurance aren’t tied to a single insurance carrier. Instead, we work with a variety of reputable insurance companies to find policies that fit your unique needs and budget.

This flexibility allows us to shop around on your behalf, ensuring you get the best coverage at the best price. You won’t be locked into a one-size-fits-all policy.

3. Did You Know? You Get Personalized Service

Local, independent agents provide personalized service that larger companies can’t match. From answering questions to helping you file a claim, we’re just a phone call or short drive away.

Plus, we take the time to get to know you and your needs so we can recommend the coverage that’s right for you—without any upselling or unnecessary add-ons.

4. Did You Know? Independent Agents Are Advocates for You

When you work with a local, independent agent, you have someone on your side who’s focused on your best interests. In the event of a claim, we’ll help guide you through the process and advocate for a fair outcome with the insurance carrier.

5. Did You Know? Supporting a Local Agent Supports Your Community

By choosing a local agent, you’re also supporting your local economy. Independent agents are small business owners who invest in the community by creating jobs, supporting local events, and giving back to the neighborhoods they serve.

At RT Insurance, we take pride in being active members of our community, and we’re dedicated to helping our neighbors thrive.

6. Did You Know? Local Agents Understand Local Businesses

For business owners, having an agent who understands the local economy and the unique challenges of running a business in your area is invaluable. From tailored policies to proactive risk management strategies, independent agents are equipped to meet the needs of businesses big and small.

7. Did You Know? Independent Agents Stay Up to Date

The insurance industry is always changing, and a good independent agent keeps up with the latest trends, regulations, and products. This ensures you’re getting the most current and comprehensive coverage available.
