There are plenty of benefits to an agent...

- Able to quote multiple companies in house, where an individual would have to take the time to do that themselves. I know there are sites that claim to quote multiple companies and have an agent call you, but I never recieved any calls from those agents. An agent is also much better able to advise clients on which company has the best combination of price/coverage/service.

- An agent can help make a claim be processed much more smoothly than an individual is able to do on his/her own. If an adjustor is slow and not returning the claimant's phone calls, the agent can easily go over the adjustors head and have the supervisor speed things up. The agent can also resolve any ambiguities in the claim.

- An agent can (or should be able to) actually read and understand an insurance policy, which I doubt 99% of the personal lines insurance buying public does.

There's more, but I'm on lunch. Other agents are probably busy selling.
