Hi everybody! Newbie with over 4 years in the life insurance industry, but not as an agent. I worked inside as a 'corporate guy' and recently got an MBA. A friend approached me about starting a P&C brokerage from within his mortgage company. From what I have read here so far, that is frowned upon by some of the experienced agents here, but here is to being naive and motivated!

I have to say the thread on State Farm was extremely enlightening. Because of it, we (my friend and I) have become much more interested in pursuing the MGA/IMO route.

Looking forward to continuing to learn from everybody and thanks to all who give their time to help guys like me!

Thanks,
Robert
 
Welcome to the forum!

Watch out for those debit balances if you do become an MGA or IMO. Don't forget that you are co signing for every agents advances.
 
So nice to have a new member that can type in English.

Welcome. Stick around. We need you to balance out some of the illiterates.

Thanks all, and just to clarify, I do not think I would be so bold as to start an MGA, but would rather get our feet wet by using an MGA, at least for non-core lines. We would obviously focus on P&C, and are debating getting a couple of years under our belts by using Insurance Noodle or the like vs. getting appointed with 5-6 P&C carriers and then using an MGA for life and other lines. What do you guys think?
