Necessary no, important yes! Having an agent that can visit your home or office to review your particular risk exposures, explain your coverages or help you complete an application for coverage will make your insurance purchase less stressful, more meaningful and ensure that you receive the proper coverage. Communicating the issues and guiding you through the process is usually easier to understand when you're sitting next to your agent. Local agents do not have to be across the street or down the block; they do however, have to be willing to come to your office or home and be part of your evaluation and purchase process.

Working with an agent who represents only one company obviously limits your choices, however they may have more influence with that single company. That influence may help you through the underwriting process. Working with an agent who represents many companies will be able to provide you with more choices and may be in a better position to tailor the policy to your specific needs. An ideal situation would be to align yourself with an agent who has a strong and committed relationship with one carrier but is able to access other carriers in the event your situation calls for alternative solutions.
