About Shop2Insure.com

Scott Reed has been a captive agent for two of the largest insurance companies in the nation, helped build and run an online independent agency for a large software company, and has worked for the largest insurance brokerage in the world. This experience has given him a firsthand experience with the failings of those business models, and he learned that it all boils down to one thing: personal relationships. Scott has learned that there is no substitute for personalized service, a choice of many insurance companies, and an agent who cares for you and your family. Our success is based on being the local independent insurance agent, insurance consultant, neighbor, and in most cases a friend to all of our clients.

Scott has been in and around the insurance industry for over 20 years. As the son of an insurance agent, he spent most of his teenage years working in his father’s agency servicing customers, rating policies, and doing general agency management duties. After college, Scott was appointed as an agent and expanded his duties within the agency to include multi-line auto, home, and commercial insurance sales. Scott later started his own agency as a captive agent for one of the largest auto and home insurance companies in the country. After six years of having only one company to offer to his clients, he realized that he was serving the company’s needs and not his client’s needs. Scott decided that the only way to serve our clients would be as an independent insurance agency where we have access to multiple insurance companies, but do not work for those companies directly.

Scott was later offered an opportunity to work for a software company in an effort to build an online independent insurance agency. When he started, the company had two non-standard auto companies quoting online. After six months, Scott and the team had the company rating over 30 insurance carriers online. The company might have been successful eventually, but this time Scott realized that the customers were just numbers and the agency did not know any of them. The company and the technology was sold to the world's largest insurance brokerage, where it was used to better service the needs of that brokerage's customers. Theirs was a good example of "bigger, not better." Although it was a company based on the model of giving customers a choice, they lacked the ability to have personal relationships with their customers.
