Today I got to sit down and talk with Bret Huett. He shared how important it is to have a relationship with your insurance agent and that it's a myth that insurance agents are out to deny all claims. A good agent will do all they can to get you the most money in the event of a claim. The important take away I had was to make sure to build a relationship with my agent, because being under insured as a business owner is no joke and getting advice from your agent is easier than hiring an attorney!
Today I got to interview Ginny Moore from Barnes and Moore Real Estate Services. She was a wealth of knowledge about the state of the housing market and she had some good advice about getting your nest egg started in real estate!
