Need Some Help Please!

[Denise509]

Can someone please give me a list of preferred and standard P&C carriers for Washington state? I've tried googling but I keep on getting re-directed....... Thanks!

Off the top of my head:

MetLife, Pemco, Safeco, Travellers, Liberty Mutual, and Hartford. For high value stuff Chubb and Firemans Fund. Sort of Progressive (not exactly standard but they're a good appointment to have for people with young drivers)

I wasn't sure if Met is considered preferred in WA, thanks for letting me know!

MetLife Auto & Home is an odd company. They have a great name but really are just an average company. There Life Insurance products are a seperate company and are behind the times in my opinion. I would look into Pemco, heard good things about them!

I have been really impressed with one company in your state. McClain Insurance, check them out at autohomeboat.com. If your an agent I bet they would answer any questions you have.

Thanks for the tip I checked out their site, definitely gonna give them a call. Would loveee to have Pemco but they (among others) gave a straight no about a month ago. I'm glad that Met said yes because Sentry will only appoint me if I have one preferred company (Met) and one standard company (Progressive) on board.

It is pretty difficult to get approved by Preferred carriers now without being part of a cluster.

Have you contacted Travelers? They are a good company in my book.

Yup... I wonder which clusters get access to all carriers right from the start? I talked to somebody (well he tried to recruit me) from Pacific Crest and he told me he got appointed with Pemco and Safeco a few months into working for PC.

I have, they also want experience/an existing b.o.b. Which carriers did you start with?

Liberty Mutual appoints agents? in my area they told me they do not appoint agents unless it is excess lines.

It differs state to state..
