Types of Insurance Agents?

Question

I know there are exclusive(captive) agent and independent agent. Is there any other type or kind of insurance agent?

Answer 1

Some agents are completely captive, others are semi-captive (This can include different arrangements where the agent must give their primary company first shot, other arrangements only require a certain amount of production per year, or the agent must write their primary company unless they do not offer a specific product.), and then their are independent agents.  Independent agents are technically called "brokers", but these terms are used interchangeably.

Answer 2

That's pretty much the only ones as far as that question goes.  You can be captive (selling for one brand/company) or a broker (selling for multiple companies)
