"80 percent of consumers start their search for insurance online, but are bombarded by an array of web sites, sales pitches, and articles that lead them to believe insurance is simple. The fact is, there is no such thing as simple insurance," said Harley Gordon, Co-Founder and President, Agent Review. "Agent Review provides a trusted resource for consumers to fully understand the complexities of their needs, then find an agent to help address them."
Agent Review features information on different types of insurance, why and when one might need it, and how to cut through the jargon that the Internet throws the public's way. Once educated on their options, consumers can search the nationwide directory for local agents right in their own backyard – instead of relying on a trained representative at a call center miles away. Search criteria include zip code, coverage needs, and other preferences such as language, experience, and more. In addition, consumers can post honest reviews about every agent, offering reliable social feedback to guide their peers' future decisions. Reviews are verified by an authorized third-party service to ensure authenticity and credibility.
For industry professionals, Agent Review provides a much-needed opportunity to restore the agent-consumer relationship, according to Jonas Roeser, Co-Founder and CEO, Agent Review.
"Buying insurance requires a personalized touch that only an agent can provide, and consumers simply aren't getting online," said Roeser. "Agent Review benefits both sides of the equation – providing agents with the exposure of a national platform, and consumers with an opportunity to engage with them directly within a trustworthy setting."
Agents gain instant visibility and credibility with a free listing on Agent Review. For an additional fee, they can enhance their listings with expanded information, client testimonials, images, and video, as well as choose to have their profiles verified by an independent third party for added credibility.
