Wanted to see if i could get any recent opinions on Real Estate Agents also selling Property & Casualty.
Both my wife and I are in Real Estate. We have in past referred business between a few insurance companies. I recently was approached by a Insurance Broker who said I should pick up My Insurance license and sell Home Owners Insurance through him. My first thought was this would just be another services I could directly offer my buyers and still make a little bit on the side.
My other thought though is this would give me another great reason to always stay in touch with past clients.
I know the big debate on this so far has been if you are doing to much then what are you really a master at, however my thought is, unlike most agents in my area as soon as they get a question that isn't 100% related to their job they just pass the question off. As someone who knows more than most agent when it comes to home construction, whats going on in my community, things happening in the mortgage industry I am always amazed by the lack of knowledge in other real estate agents. My clients are always amazed by what questions I am able to answer for them. So to me this is just another tool in my toolbox that I can speak intelligently about when I am with a client or just a social or networking event that sets me apart from other Real Estate Agents.
Anyone else out there selling real estate and insurance?
