Benefits of using a broker instead of going directly to an insurer
Nowadays, there are dozens of reputable insurers to choose from for your needs and budget, which means you can get better deals. However, approaching each one every time, or comparing even two can be tedious and arduous. Moreover, the insurance terminology and the process can be quite perplexing and mind-boggling to many. So this is where insurance brokers or intermediaries like Pacific Prime come in. While insurers offer products and services that are tied to their business, brokers, on the other hand, are in a position to offer dozens if not hundreds of plan comparisons from different insurance partners. This doesn’t only save you time, but you get all sorts of benefits, such as impartial advice, plan and claims management, and more.
The Bottom line
While the immediate reaction is to go straight to a popular insurer, it may be in your best interest to contact a reputable insurance broker. You could save money and get honest and transparent advice throughout your insurance journey. Thus, Pacific Prime is your one-stop broker for all your individual, school, and corporate needs.
