The value of an independent Insurance Broker
Whether you live in Calgary, Edmonton or a small town in Alberta, there are many benefits in working with an independent Calgary broker for all your home, auto and business insurance needs. Some insurance companies offer their products "directly" to you versus offering their products through an independent broker or local Calgary company. These companies take a self-service approach and expect you to become the insurance expert in an increasingly complex world. Developing a relationship with a trusted broker to protect your assets, family, business and everything you have worked hard to achieve has the following benefits:
- We do the shopping for you: As a busy individual, let us take the time to find the most comprehensive product at a cost effective price. This will save you time and money. We pride ourselves on being insurance professionals and truly understand the complexities of the varying insurance products.
- Utilize our extensive insurance expertise: There are hundreds of insurance products across the country. As a consumer, it is very difficult to educate yourself on the variety of products and options available. Our Westland Brokers have over 300 years of experience and are constantly updating their education in the insurance industry.
- Pricing awareness: Brokers are constantly looking at the insurance market and keep abreast of any pricing changes within the industry. Your broker, is aware of all the discounts available to our customers and can evaluate how your individual needs might change your rates from year-to-year. This is essential in minimizing rate increases on an annual basis.
- Independence: Westland Insurance is an independent, Calgary based company and we choose to remain independent. To protect your assets most effectively, we work with many insurers on your behalf. We can offer you many different options depending on your individual needs. This gives you more flexibility than having to purchase all your products from one insurance company.
- Dispute resolution: The insurance industry can be confusing if you are filing a claim or renewing a policy after an accident. With an independent broker, you have a trusted industry expert working on your behalf if issues arise that need our involvement. Sometimes, you just need confirmation that you are getting accurate information from the insurance companies processing your claim or renewing your policy. our brokers are here to answer questions and reassure you that you are in good hands.
- Annual policy reviews: Every year, insurance products change and prices are adjusted. A broker will ensure you benefit from regular reviews of your policy portfolio and that you have benifited from all applicable discounts and new products.
- Affordability: Brokers are compensated by insurance companies and not by you. Our policy holders do not generally pay separate fees for the advice and protection offered by your our brokers. By selecting a "direct" insurance product, there might be a slighty lower price, but clients are missing out on the knowledge, effort and advocacy offered by an independent broker. Is it worth a small discount for self-serve insurance when you consider potential gaps in coverage that might exist in the event of a major loss.
- Real People and not a call centre: Most insurance companies offering direct insurance sell their product through a call centre with menus, prompts and many different advisors. Westland Insurance has a "live" person answer the phone and our brokers return their voice mails on a daily basis. You can be assured personal service and even ask for the same person every time you call.
Most consumers use professionals before starting plumbing or electrical jobs in their home. The same holds true when safeguarding your possessions, family or business. Why take on potentially damaging financial risk by not adequately insuring your assets. This is particularly true if you have an affluent lifestyle that involves a distinctive home, various toys, a recreational property or collector cars or someone with a respected position in the community. An experienced, licensed broker is the most reliable way to obtain most inclusive protection with the greatest value.
Whether your home or business is big or small we have an insurance product just right for you.
