Broker vs. Agent

 
The difference?

I spent half of my career as a broker and am now a directly appointed agent with multiple insurance companies. The biggest difference between the two is that a broker usually charges additional fees for the same service an agent performs.

When should I get an umbrella policy?

Umbrella policies are a good idea if you have a mid-to-high level of net worth. If it is $500K to $1MM, you should get a $1MM umbrella. If the net worth is over $1MM but less than $2MM, it would be best to buy a $2MM umbrella.

It's purpose is to protect you from liability law suits involving your properties and/or autos. Your home policy should include at least $300K of liability coverage and your auto should have at least $250/500/100K coverage in order to qualify for an umbrella. Once the underlying limits of coverage have been spent, the umbrella begins to pay its benefits.

  Multiple Policy Discounts

Some customers keep their auto policy with a different insurer than their home policy. The advantage with consolidating your policies with one insurance company is that you are dealing with one agent/company and you get discounts for the multiple policies. Kemper, Travelers, Civil Service Employees, Commerce West, Century National and Liberty/Mutual Safeco Insurance Companies all offer these discounts and I can quote them for you.
