Insurance brokers 101: What are they and how do they differ from insurance agents?
Before you commit to working with an insurance broker, it is important to understand what they are and how they compare to insurance agents. First, let’s define what an insurance broker is. Insurance brokers are licenced insurance professionals that work for brokerages. They do not work for a specific insurance company. Instead, they have knowledge about the insurance products sold by a wide variety of insurance companies. And first and foremost, brokers represent the customer. Owing to their knowledge and expertise, they can help customers from all walks of life find the best insurance plans for their needs and budgets. In contrast, insurance agents work for specific insurance providers, and while also licenced and knowledgeable, their expertise tends to be limited to the insurance products sold by the company they work for. Therefore, if you are looking for an insurance professional that has your best interests at heart and who can help you save time and money on insurance, an insurance broker is your best bet.
What are the perks of working with an insurance brokerage in Pembroke?
There are so many advantages to working with an insurance brokerage in Pembroke, from the level of expertise brokers offer to the ways that they can help you save money. A few of the top perks of enlisting the help of a Pembroke insurance broker are as follows:
Convenience
Insurance brokerages offer a convenient insurance experience that you won’t get anywhere else. Without an insurance broker, you would be left to research policies and compare them all on your own. This could take hours, if not days or weeks. With everyone’s busy schedules, it’s understandable that you don’t want to spend your free time searching for insurance online. An insurance broker can fill this gap by shopping around for you. All you have to do is explain what type of coverage or policy you’re looking for, and you can leave the rest to them. It’s that easy!
Expertise
Unless you work in the insurance industry yourself, understanding the world of insurance can be difficult. It’s important to have professionals that you can trust and rely on for advice. That’s what an insurance brokerage offers. It is the job of a licenced insurance broker to provide customers with expert insurance advice, day in and day out.
Cost savings
Who doesn’t love saving money? Finding a cheap insurance policy that still gives you the protection you need is difficult, especially if you don’t have much insurance experience. But a broker can help you cut corners in ways that don’t compromise the integrity of your policy. A BrokerLink insurance advisor can search for discounts on your behalf and give you effective money-saving tips.

Insurance requirements in Pembroke, Ontario
Is insurance required in Pembroke? This is a question that many Ontario residents wonder about. The problem is that it has multiple answers. For example, if we’re talking about Pembroke car insurance, then yes, it is required. The Ontario government has made auto insurance mandatory for all drivers in the province, so if you drive in Pembroke, you must have a valid auto insurance policy. Please note that a valid car insurance policy in Ontario must include certain types of coverage. Namely, accident benefits coverage, uninsured automobile coverage, direct compensation - property damage coverage, and third party liability coverage at least $200,000 worth of this.
Home insurance may also be required of Pembroke residents. However, it is not mandated by the government like car insurance. Instead, it may be required by your mortgage lender or bank if you buy a home with a loan, or by your landlord if you rent a home in Pembroke. If you buy a house with cash, though, you are likely under no obligation to purchase home insurance though most homeowners still do.
Business insurance is also situationally required, meaning it is not a legal requirement set by the government but it may be required by other regulating bodies. For example, certain professions like lawyers or doctors may need to purchase specific coverage.
Whether you are required to purchase a certain type of insurance or not, the financial protection any insurance policy offers is invaluable. You can learn more about the benefits of insurance coverage by getting in touch with a broker at BrokerLink Pembroke either over the phone, via email, or in person.
