Insurance carriers recognize that brokers bring knowledge of specific markets and most importantly, relationships, to the table. The key, of course, is to use a broker that is familiar with you, understands the intent of your coverage and the role insurance is to play in protecting you.

In an age that emphasizes generating more production with less effort, employing the services of a broker appears to be a first step in achieving a strategic advantage.
