What does a Independent Insurance Broker do?
Many people have heard the term "Broker" but they are not really sure what a broker does.
Our primary job is to look into the future and make a plan that shows you the decisions that you can make that will help you achieve long-term financial success.
Of the 350,000 independent brokers in our country, the majority of them (over 90%) receive commissions in one way or another from products that they sell. Basically, we get paid from the insurance company and not directly from you. We sell advice. That advice helps people make smarter financial decisions. In a nutshell, broker will ask you questions, then based on your answers will provide a solution to solve your objectives.
How Brokers Answer Questions
Brokers gather information and put the information into software that projects the results far into the future. These projections are used by the independent broker to answer questions such as:
Independent Brokers Help You Focus
Once you have a financial projection, you have to forget about the things you have no control over (like what did the stock market do today) and focus your energy on the things you can control.
Here are some ways an independent broker can help you focus on the things that will make a difference.
Bottom line, the type of independent brokers our firm offers falls more along the consulting lines. I hope that one of our licensed independent brokers can you too.

How Brokers Answer Questions
Brokers gather information and put the information into software that projects the results far into the future. These projections are used by the independent broker to answer questions such as:
- How much should I be saving?
- What investments are best suited to provide the income I need?
- How can I protect my savings against a bad market?
- Should I use my extra money to pay off the mortgage, or put more into my 401k plan?
- How much income will I have in retirement?
- Should I keep the life insurance policy I’ve had for thirty years?
- How will inflation affect my retirement lifestyle?
- What should I be doing with my money so it can take care of me one day?
Independent Brokers Help You Focus
Once you have a financial projection, you have to forget about the things you have no control over (like what did the stock market do today) and focus your energy on the things you can control.
Here are some ways an independent broker can help you focus on the things that will make a difference.
- Worried about losing your job? You can save extra money in an emergency fund so if that happens you have plenty of time to regroup.
- Worried about inflation? Social Security provides lifelong inflation adjusted income and you can often get more in benefits than you might think by doing a bit of analysis and strategically deciding when each spouse should begin taking benefits.
- Worried about the investment markets? You can choose safe, guaranteed investment choices, or use a time-segmented approach to investing so you don’t have to worry about the inevitable ups and downs in the markets.
Bottom line, the type of independent brokers our firm offers falls more along the consulting lines. I hope that one of our licensed independent brokers can you too.
