Becoming an Independent Insurance Agent

[hlaskew5]

Would anyone recommend just selling health insurance during this season where health care is in a cross roads?

Not if you're a MD agent - bad move. I'd recommend selling LTCi.

John- what is going on in MD that is making it a bad move compared to other states?

For the same reason I tell agents Missouri is not a good place to sell Med Supps. John lived there.

Frank, I am aware that John lives there and I value his opinion. I am simply asking why he feels that way. Maybe his state is similiar to mine and I might be in the same boat and not realize it.
I was under the impression that everything is still the same for the time being.

I have been a captive agent for three years with a Farm Bureau company. I am looking to open my own independent agency where I live. Will I be able to work out of my house in the beginning selling p & c or should I bite the bullet and get a office space?

I didn't think many agents sold P and C from Home.
I just can't image a client coming to your home to buy it. So you must be doing most of it online.
