Before Smart Choice was established, for smaller independent agents being “independent” also meant being hopelessly isolated.
Getting appointments with the top-tier carriers was nearly impossible, which meant you didn’t have access to the more lucrative insurance buyers. You couldn’t find options for the best coverage for your clients across multiple carriers, which made you non-competitive. That’s why we created Smart Choice – to give agents the freedom to succeed.
Fast-forward to 28 years later and Smart Choice…
“When I decided to go out on my own the hard part was getting carrier appointments. So, I looked into different aggregators and networks and for several of them, I would have had to pay a large down payment -- with Smart Choice there were no fees. Bottom line is that our business has grown dramatically every year, I’ve hired three people and I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Smart Choice. They really helped me.” — Letisia Aguirre, Capital Insurance Services of Florida
