Tips for Finding an Agent

• Ask friends and family for referrals
• If the agent is too busy to sit down with you, find a different agent
• Independent agents generally work with more companies than captive agents
• Captive agents are limited to a single company's rates
• Agents with more experience are better at spotting coverage gaps

Insurance Buying Tip

Consider combining your home and auto coverage together to get bigger savings. The majority of insurance companies that offer coverage in California, and more specifically Hayward, provide major savings if you combine policies with one company.
