Insurers Declare Melbourne Storms Catastrophe
Claims bill almost $5bn so far
Brokers angry over FSL increases
Why Use a Broker
Flexibility
As you'd expect, when you consult an insurance company, they endeavour to meet your needs from the specific products and services they have to offer. Inevitably this makes them less flexible. They'd like your business and they certainly don't want you to shop around.
Value
However, "shopping around" is exactly what a good broker will do, looking for the cover that's ideally suited to your needs.
Brokers make it their business to know what all the major insurance companies can provide and where to get the best value for their clients.
Quite simply, an insurance broker can save you time, worry and money.
Security
People often take shortcuts with insurance, failing to understand the fine print or weigh up the many factors that go into making the best deal.
All too often they're disappointed when, down the track, their insurance doesn't "come to the rescue" in the way they'd hoped.
Objectivity
Brokers provide objective, professional advice based on years of training and experience. They have comprehensive and current knowledge of the insurance market.
As a result, they can negotiate the most competitive premiums and appropriate cover on your behalf.
