People find us by searching for an insurance agent in Peoria, for the best insurance agent in Peoria, AZ, or simply for an independent agent near me. However you got here, the useful thing to know is that a local independent insurance agent is paid by the carrier rather than by you, so the comparison costs you nothing.
Why independent
A captive agent works for one insurance company and can only offer that company's policies. As an independent agency, Shield of Faith represents multiple top-rated carriers, so when your renewal moves the answer is not automatically a higher deductible or less coverage. It is a different carrier, quoted the same week, by the same person who wrote the first policy.
Independent agents are typically paid by the carrier rather than by the client, which means there is generally no extra cost for the comparison. That surprises people, and it is worth saying out loud.
How we work with clients
We ask for your current declarations page before we ask for your budget. Almost every policy has two or three levers on it that nobody has touched in years: a deductible set low when it does not need to be, a car still carrying collision that is not worth repairing, a driver listed who moved out, a discount that was never claimed. We go through those first, because that is usually where the money is, and it does not require you to change anything else.
Then we tell you when to move and when to stay. Shopping mid-term is usually worse than shopping at renewal, and a carrier that is competitive this quarter may not be next. An agent who tells you to sit still is the one worth keeping.
What we ask for on a first call
Your current declarations pages, all of them, not just the one you are unhappy with
What you actually own, including the things people forget: the trailer, the cart, the jet ski
Who drives, who lives there, and what would happen financially if a bad month arrived
What your renewal dates are, so nothing gets moved at the wrong time
