Insurance agents represent a single insurance company. They act as sales representatives for insurers. On the other hand, insurance brokers represent you, the client. Insurance Brokers have access to multiple companies and help provide many choices at varying price points to suit your insurance needs. Both agents and brokers are paid commissions or fees by insurance companies.

Insurance brokers work for their customers, whether they are individuals or businesses. They research the market for coverage options, share those options with their clients, and then help them apply for and purchase coverage from insurance companies.  Brokers also shop renewals amongst all the companies they have access to each year. They can also help assess risks and provide claims assistance.
