How to Spot Red Flags When Choosing an Insurance Agent
Choosing an insurance agent is more than just picking someone with a license. Your agent should be a trusted partner—someone who understands your goals, explains your options clearly, and recommends what’s best for you, not what pays them the biggest commission.

Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Many agents are captive to one company or motivated to push high-commission products without fully explaining alternatives. If you’re looking for an insurance professional you can trust, here are a few red flags to watch out for:
-
They only show you one company’s products.
If your agent doesn’t offer comparisons, they may be working with limited options—or only trying to sell what benefits them most. -
They pressure you to buy immediately.
Good agents educate, they don’t intimidate. A trustworthy advisor gives you time to understand your options. -
They can’t explain why a product is right for you.
If the explanation sounds like a script or is overly vague, that’s a red flag. -
They avoid your questions or gloss over fine print.
Your agent should be transparent about fees, surrender charges, and policy mechanics.
