Blake Hosley - First Mid Insurance Group

Prices of just about everything seem to be going up these days, and unfortunately insurance is no different. Inflation, increased claim volume, and increased claim severity are a few reasons for this.

Rates have gone up industry-wide, but some carriers have had significantly higher increases than others. With this being the case, now is a good time to compare your rates and coverages to make sure you’re in the best spot.

The most efficient way to do this is by using a broker. As a broker, I have the ability to compare rates with 15+ carriers in one clean swoop. If there happens to be a better option available, making the switch is quick and easy. If you’re already in the best spot, you did your due diligence.

***Recent example - I quoted auto and renters insurance for somebody this week who had been with the same carrier for years. They ended up cutting their costs 25% while also doubling their auto coverage.
