Hi everyone-
First post but regular visitor. I hope someone might be able to help me out a little here.
I have been a captive agent for a year and 2 months. I sell primarily personal lines p&c and life/di/ltc. I am fully licensed and was thinking of going independent. I have a pretty decent track record with my current company.
At first, I thought thought of maybe joining an indy. agency. Not a bad idea if I can get a good contract with it. If anyone knows of some good agencies in Des Moines area let me know. However, I think after a year or two of that I would likely want to start my own.
If I started my own agency out of my house, how hard would it be to contract with companies in Iowa? I understand all states are different. Also, if anyone could make a list of companies I could get in contact with I would appreciate it.
Not sure on how long this process takes but I would love to possibly have this going by Jan. Is that a good timeline?
Thanks
