Why Use an Independent Broker?

The Dominion strongly believes consumers should have access to independent, professional advisors, who provide advocacy and choice, which is why we distribute our products exclusively through independent brokers. 

As a consumer, you can choose to purchase an insurance policy through several different channels:

• Direct writers are insurers who deal directly with the public; the person who advises you and sells your policy is an employee of the insurance company.

• Agencies are individuals or firms that exclusively sell the products of one insurance company, and are employed by that company.

• Insurer-controlled brokers are brokerages that provide professional insurance advice, but are owned by an insurer, serving the interests of their parent company.

• Independent brokers are licensed, independently operated firms who offer choice between the products of several insurance companies, along with impartial, professional advice and advocacy in the marketplace.

The Dominion is proudly partnered with independent brokers.  We want you to be confident that your broker is working for you to provide expert guidance and coverage for your specific insurance needs.
