Have you heard great things about Erie Insurance from family, friends, or even neighbors? Are you looking to jump on board and get these great rates for yourself? Look no further, as this blog will walk you through the step-by-step process of how to find an Erie Insurance agent to get started with the insurance quote process.
Erie Insurance only writes policies through independent agents. This means that you cannot simply go to Erie’s website and get yourself a bindable quote, a quote that is accurate and will then provide you with a policy. Instead, Erie Insurance points you to their independent agents. Erie Insurance is very selective with the agents they appoint and what those agents can write policies for. So not every insurance agent in your area will be able to write a policy with Erie Insurance. Fortunately, Susquehanna Insurance is one of those selected independent agencies that proudly represents Erie Insurance that serves the Lancaster and Lititz areas.
1. Find an Agent
The first step in the process of finding an Erie Insurance agent is to find a list of independent agencies that work with Erie Insurance. To do this, you can simply Google “Erie agents near me” or go to Erie’s website and use their “agent finder” feature. From there, you can start generating a list of agents that you might be interested in pursuing and working with.
Some factors to consider when developing your list are the location of the agency and the online reviews of the independent agency. Working with an agent that has an office near your home makes it easier to set up in-person appointments, make payments, and discuss claims. Online reviews, such as Google reviews, are unedited reviews that come directly from the customer’s mouths. They are a great way to learn how their current customers feel about doing business with them. It is important to take both the number of reviews and the quality of reviews into consideration as well. Lastly, check out their website. There, you can learn more about the agents you will be working with, what the values are of the agency, the agent’s involvement in their local community, and the agent’s social media presence.
2. Pick an Agent & Reach Out
Now that you have picked an agent that best suits you, utilizing some of the tips mentioned in step one, you just need to simply reach out to the agency and introduce yourself. With today’s technology, you can reach out to these independent agencies and obtain an Erie Insurance quote over the phone, but an even better option is a face-to-face meeting. Agents are very friendly people who want to learn more about their prospective and current clients and help them resolve the problems that life throws at them.
It’s really that simple! Research reputable agents near you and reach out to them via a phone call or an in-person meeting.
