Insurance Broker

By , About.com Guide

Definition: An Insurance Broker is someone who represents you with your insurance transactions, unlike an insurance agent, who represents the insurance company.
Examples:
Since Joe had an insurance broker, he did not deal directly with any insurance companies or insurance agents. When he needed changes to his insurance policy or had questions or concerns, he contacted his insurance broker who in turn would find the information Joe needed.
