Hello everyone. I am Franz Kafka and have just joined up today. I am a second year agent and don't know much.
I have always been a little confused about the whole agency/agent relationship and have a question.
I recently left an independent agency and called the carriers to ask how I could change agency. The carriers said my old agency would not release me. I contacted the old agency and they said they would give me a GA appointment with them.
My question is does the old agency have the right not to release me as their agent? If they can, how long do I need to wait before I get released? and Does this mean I cannot get re-appointed with carriers I worked with under the old agency?
I would truly appreciate if someone could explain this to me. Thank you.
