Independent Insurance Agency
As an independent insurance agency, TGI represents multiple insurers and is able to comparison shop for its customers. Some of TGI's direct insurance company appointments include Progressive, MetLife, National General Insurance Company (formerly GMAC), Foremost, Victoria as well as countless other specialty lines insurers.
Because TGI represents such a wide array of both personal and commercial insurers, TGI Insurance can offer highly competitive and quality insurance quotes without having too narrow of a focus like many "captive agents" who only represent one insurer. This also allows TGI to have a lot more pricing and coverage flexibility as opposed to the direct writers.
TGI only represents companies which it feels has the highest of standards in quality and customer service. Insurers chosen by TGI must also have a proven track record and be financially secure.
Quality Standards
Although TGI often advertises its low premiums, TGI understands price is only one of many factors that consumers look for when purchasing insurance. Quality, service, and financial stability are other important attributes.
TGI Insurance understands the key to growing a successful insurance agency is through maintaining an excellent reputation in the community. This can only be achieved through treating customers with professionalism, respect, and courtesy. Because of TGI's high standards for customer service, TGI maintains a higher than industry average customer retention rate of about 90% annually.
