Tips for Finding an Agent

• Do not rely on yellow page ads
• 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 can only price your coverage with one company
• Ask for their license number and if they balk, find a new agent

Insurance Buying Tip

Never allow your home or auto policies to expire. You may find it very hard to get insurance again in California and the price you pay may be substantially higher than before.

Call John Bell Insurance Service at (510) 832-8900 or visit them in Oakland to get an insurance review.
