Join UsThe Independent Insurance Agents of Texas (IIAT) expands the value and influence of independent insurance agencies via advocacy, information, training, business solutions, professional networking, and market resources.
What is an independent insurance agent?
Independent insurance agents don’t work for an insurance company; they partner with multiple insurance companies. As such, they offer more options to their customers—more personalized policies, more affordable policies, and more.
Independent agents aren’t worried about meeting some giant corporate sales quota because there is no corporate sales quota. Instead, independent agents focus on the satisfaction of their customers and community.
