# Choosing an insurance agency

- [Choosing an Agency](https://riskado.com/is-it-cheaper-to-get-insurance-through-an-agent/): An agent does not automatically make insurance cheaper or pricier. See how agents and brokers are paid, when a fee applies and how to compare quotes fairly.

- [How to Choose an Insurance Agent: License Check, Questions to Ask, and Red Flags](https://riskado.com/how-to-choose-an-insurance-agent/): Start with the license. Look up the agent and agency, confirm the line of authority, then ask whom they represent, how they are paid and who helps with a claim.

- [Insurance Broker vs Agent: Who Each One Works For and How to Pick One](https://riskado.com/insurance-broker-vs-agent/): An agent generally acts for insurers and a broker for the buyer, but state law decides. See who each represents, how each is paid and how to verify a license.
