Some companies provide an opportunity for eligible brokers to build up a retirement pension over time. Their contribution would be less than 1% of total premiums.
In order for us to maintain strong relationships with quality insurers, we work with each to provide the type of business they desire. The Insurers with an asterisk (*) noted above recognize our effort through a Contingent Commission Contract. Payment of this Contingent Commission may depend on a combination of growth, profitability (loss ratio), volume, retention, and increased services that we provide on behalf of the Insurer over a period of years. Contingent Commission is NOT guaranteed. For further information on Contingent Commission, please see the individual company’s website.

Your Insurer will be providing you with a Consumer Code of Rights and Responsibilities, which will be forwarded to you with your policy. If you have any questions regarding this or any other aspect of your insurance, please contact us.
