Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between a "broker" and an "agent"?
A: Brokers are representatives of the insured who, in effect, do the insured's insurance shopping. With widespread contacts and knowledge of many fields of insurance, brokers offer significant advice and counsel to their clients. Agents represent the insurer, and the authority under which he or she operates is delegated through an agency contract. RSL is a broker, pure and simple.
