In many cases, inflation has reduced the value of their claims to a fraction of what they should be. And in too many other cases, even an up-to-date policy doesn't cover full replacement value. To find out where you stand you should talk to one of the I.BAO. insurance brokers listed below. Is there a difference between anI.BAO. broker and an ageentt Yes there is. An agent works directly for one insurance company. An I.BAO. broker is independent and unbiased. Your I.BAO. broker shops around for value, recommends the right coverage at the right price and makes sure your interests are professionally represented when you need to make a claim.
