Why use an independent insurance broker or agent?
More choices, less hassle, and better protection.
Better insurance is about more than choosing the right company. It's about selecting coverage that fits your specific needs. A local independent agent / independent insurance broker will provide the expert guidance to help you do both – so you can focus on your life, not on your insurance.

How Independent Insurance Agents Benefit You and Our Community
We build stronger communities. Independent Agents are business owners and employees, but above all, they are members of the community. Many of us make an impact by sharing our time and resources with local nonprofit organizations. Beacon Point Insurance is proud to give back to the community in which we live, and serve with our Beacon Of Hope program. We build long-term relationships.Three out of four people use an agent to buy insurance, according to a recent survey, and many of them stay with the same agency for years. When you work with a local insurance agency, you deal with people you know - and people who know you.

Depending on where you live, there could be several local independent agents eager to help you buy insurance. How do you choose?
