Mass. Offers Agent Finder Web Site

Massachusetts Commissioner Nonnie Burnes has unveiled AgentFinder, a Division of Insurance Web site designed to make it easier for Massachusetts consumers to find insurance agents and insurance products in the state. AgentFinder connects consumers to insurance professionals based on criteria provided by the consumer and is available at: http://www.agentfinder.doi.state.ma.us. The Division said it frequently receives calls from consumers looking for a simple and efficient way to find professionals and companies that sell products ranging from automobile, homeowners, life or health insurance to the more specialized lines of pet, travel and wedding insurance. AgentFinder allows consumers to generate a list of agents from a database of the state’s 70,000 licensed insurance professionals based on the geographic, product and company specifications that he or she selects. The Web site’s search methods are flexible. Consumers can perform a general agent search by entering their zip code and selecting between auto, homeowners, life or health insurance. They can also conduct a detailed agent search by entering the agent’s name, business location, company or product.
