Tonight at the Board of Supervisor's Meeting there was quite a discussion about "Agent of Record" for our property and liability Insurance.
As we heard, Gordon Burke has been the agent for the above insurance for many years. I've watched him make his presentations and apparently, he had found the best deals for us because I have not observed another agent coming in and presenting another policy that would be better.
As I understand it, another agent could not bid with a policy that was already in place. The only way this could happen is for our Board of Supervisors to make another agent the "Agent of Record". In this case, this resolution by our Board of Supervisors allowed a brand new insurance agent and the agency he works for to steal Gordon Burke's business.
I confronted Larry Pratt and one of the agency's owners outside of the meeting. I don't know this guy's name but what he said was...,that's how insurance works. Really? My father-,in-law and my husband's uncle were in insurance all of their working lives and this is not how it works.
In insurance as in any business, you earn it. You go out and find a policy that is better than the one we already have or you find a policy that offers something we need but don't have. You work for it. You don't steal it. Shameful.
Somebody please buy this house. I am so tired of living around people who think they are entitled.
