Bellingham is always open to developing relationships with new retail partners. Does your agency fit? Ask yourself the following questions to find out:
• Are you looking for a long term stable product with an “A” rated admitted carrier?
• Do your agents know and understand their clients and the business being submitted?
• Do you do the research to be able to provide complete and accurate information on all risks?
• Is a better overall product more important to you than the cheapest price?
• Do you have a desire to work with knowledgeable and flexible underwriters instead of just a binding authority?
