In a saturated market where aggressive competition between large agencies is as fierce as ever, people and businesses have more choice than ever when trying to source the best deals for themselves.

IHT Insurance Agency Group LLC - IHT Values

At IHT, we pride ourselves on providing independent insurance agents with the widest range of top independent carriers in the industry. Some of our catch phrases include “achieve independence” and “enjoy independence” and that is exactly what we try to help our agents do. Our three main principles, integrity, honesty, and trust are so important to us that we named our company after them. “Integrity, Honesty, Trust” is not only the motto for IHT Insurance Agency Group, it is exactly what IHT stands for.

It doesn’t matter whether you are trying to become an independent agent for the first time, or whether you are a long-time independent agent looking to expand your markets or looking for relief from production quotas that are too demanding, IHT can help you achieve your goals. IHT Insurance And Organizing Efficiency specializes in helping insurance agents establish their place in the industry. We do this by helping our agents grow their business, and maintain their independent insurance agency. This is possible because we offer them access to an incredibly wide range of carriers, without giving them unrealistic production quotas and oppressive fees.

At IHT, we care about our agents, and helping them achieve their goals and enjoy their independence in the industry is our mission. We give a competitive edge to insurance agents with good prospects who wouldn’t otherwise be able to achieve the market reach that we can provide them with.

IHT: Improving the Insurance Industry

At IHT Insurance Agency Group, we are passionate about the insurance industry. We started out as a group of like-minded individuals who realized that consumer needs were changing and that the insurance market needed to adapt to meet those needs. Our motto is “Integrity, Honesty, and Trust” and these are the principles our company is built upon. This mission statement is so important to us that we named IHT after it.

In the past, agents worked alone, which meant that obviously they had limited resources. A single agent only had access to a few carriers and this had a negative effect on their business and on their customers. Customers often had to take an insurance policy which was overpriced and wasn’t suited specifically for their needs. It wasn’t necessarily that agents wanted to saddle their customers with these bad “one size fits all” policies, which weren’t designed with their needs in mind. It was just that they didn’t have a choice due to their limited options. This old way of doing business doesn’t work for us at IHT Insurance Agency Group where we believe in helping people, simply because it doesn’t work. In fact our main goal is to provide independent insurance agencies with direct access to the widest range of top insurance carriers in the industry. We believe that this benefits not only the agent, but also their customers. This new model serves both insurance agents and customers in a much more efficient way than the old one.

Our philosophy which comes up again and again in our catch phrases such as “achieve independence” and “enjoy independence” is simply that: independence for insurance agents who want to provide their customers with the right policy for the right price. By providing them with direct access and direct communication with multiple carriers such as Allied Insurance, MetLife, Encompass, and many more, we ensure that they get this independence.

The Proud Philosophy of IHT Insurance has benefited many independent insurance agents and captive agents who were looking for a way to break out on their own. We specialize in helping insurance agents start, grow, and maintain an independent insurance agency. The family insurance agency model is important to us, and therefore we try to help preserve it.  By giving agents the access and tools they need, we help them survive in today’s competitive insurance climate.
