Discussion Points

  • Shopping online for your insurance to get the best policy for the best price.
  • Online shopping for insurance by other companies is limited to just auto insurance and usually just marketing, not true comparisons.
  • Most homeowner companies will automatically raise your rate every year and many homeowners don’t notice.
  • You don’t have to talk to a broker, you can shop for insurance online.
  • Expensive insurance can affect your debt-to-income ratio and cause underwriting issues with a new mortgage.
  • The coverages you can play around with to get a lower premium.
  • The future of insurance agents and where they can still help you in understanding your policy.
  • Comparity doesn’t share your contact information, they just get you the quotes based on your input and connect you later if you decide to move forward so brokers are not calling you left and right.
  • Rate table comparisons are not quote comparisons.
  • Protecting your most important assets.
  • Understanding the difference between admitted and non-admitted carriers.
  • The difference between exclusive and independent carriers.
  • Comparity doesn’t charge a fee for the consumer.
