Hi, I’m Tom Gaumond with G2 Insurance Services. Welcome to our FAQ series, where we answer some of the most common questions people have about working with an independent insurance agency.

Many people have never worked with an independent agent before. They may have always stayed with the same insurance company their parents used, worked directly with a captive agent, or purchased insurance online. Because of that, the process can feel unfamiliar at first.

The good news is that working with an independent insurance agent is actually very straightforward. It starts with a conversation. We take the time to learn about your situation, ask the questions needed to understand your insurance needs, and gather the information required to provide accurate quotes. Whether you’re looking for home, auto, business, or other types of coverage, we’ll work to understand what matters most to you.

Once we have that information, we do the shopping for you. Rather than contacting multiple insurance companies yourself, we compare options from the carriers we represent and identify the policies that best fit your needs and budget.
