WHEREAS independent insurance agents are insurance sales agents identified as one of Michigan’s Hot 50 high-demand, high-wage careers through 2024;
WHEREAS, independent insurance agents promote the positive image of careers in insurance through working with local high schools and colleges to expose students to careers as insurance agents; and,

What is an Independent Insurance Agent?
An independent agent is an insurance professional who can sell insurance products from different insurance companies, unlike a captive agent who can only represent one company. They act as a middleman between insurance buyers and insurance sellers. Unlike captive agents, they work for you and have access to multiple insurance carriers to find you the best coverage. And when your goals change, they’ve got answers — no need to switch insurance agents!
Why Work with an Independent Insurance Agent?
Independent agents have your best interest in mind. We don’t benefit from the carrier selling you a policy; we benefit from finding you the insurance coverage you need at an affordable price. What separates us from the rest is our ability to service our policyholders proactively, and our knowledge of the industry, products, and different situations that may present themselves to our clients.
At Mason-McBride, we go out of our way to treat our clients like family. Through our industry experience and diversified knowledge base, we are able to help you protect what you value most, both in business and in life. Having a team of talented and passionate individuals is the key to our success – together, we are committed to protecting you from the unexpected and ensuring that your financial well-being is secured.
