Tips for Finding an Agent

• Ask coworkers for recommendations
• If the agent is too busy to sit down with you, find a different agent
• Independent insurance agents are not tied to one company
• Captive agents are limited to a single company's rates
• Agents with more experience are better at spotting coverage gaps

Insurance Buying Tip

If at all possible, never allow your home or auto policies to lapse. It may be impossible to get coverage reinstated and the rates could be significantly higher than before. Call Herrling & Schmitt Insurance at (815) 235-7473 or visit them in Freeport for insurance options.
