Why Work with an Independent Insurance Agent?

When it comes to insurance, there’s no shortage of choices. You can go online, call a 1-800 number, or talk to an agent who works for one specific company. But there’s another option—one that gives you more flexibility, more personal service, and usually a better fit for your needs: working with an independent insurance agent.

So, what’s the difference?

Unlike agents who only represent one insurance company, independent agents (like us at Boufford Insurance) work with a variety of carriers. That means we can compare rates and coverages from multiple companies to find the best option for you. You’re not locked into one brand, one approach, or one-size-fits-all coverage.

We take the time to get to know you—what you care about, what you’re protecting, and what your budget looks like. Whether you’re buying your first home, running a business, or just making sure your family is covered, we’ll help you build a policy that fits.

It’s not just about saving money (although that’s certainly part of it). It’s about making sure you’re not overpaying for coverage you don’t need—or worse, underinsured when it matters most.

And when life happens—whether it’s a claim, a change, or just a question—you won’t be stuck navigating a call center. You’ll talk to someone who knows your name and understands your policy. Someone who works for you.

At the end of the day, that’s the biggest difference: we’re here to serve you, not the insurance companies.

If you’re looking for a straightforward, honest, and personalized approach to insurance, give the independent insurance agents at Boufford Insurance a call.
