Actually, you often pay less. Insurance brokers have access to multiple carriers and exclusive discounts not available to direct buyers. Their commissions are already built into insurance pricing—you're paying for this service whether you use it or not.
Brokers receive commissions from insurance companies when placing policies, typically ranging from 10-15% of premiums. These commissions are standardized across carriers, preventing bias toward expensive policies.
While online comparisons seem comprehensive, they only show participating companies' standard products. You'll miss specialized carriers, local companies, and custom coverage options. Bergen County's unique risks require local expertise.
Your broker becomes your advocate throughout the claim process. They help document damage, communicate with adjusters, and ensure fair treatment. Unlike direct insurance where you're alone, your broker fights for your interests.
Not at all. Experienced brokers seamlessly transition coverage without gaps or disruptions. They coordinate timing to ensure continuous protection, often improving coverage while maintaining or reducing costs.
