Network Profile

Established in 1998 by John LaRocca Sr., Advantage Insurance Agency Network LLC is made up of a group of Independent Insurance Agencies who have seen the need to change the way they are doing business in an insurance market that is undergoing dramatic change.

There are continually new entrants in the Insurance Industry, particularly banks and other financial Institutions. It is changing the method of distribution of products and services.

The members of Advantage Insurance Agency Network see the need to reinvent the process of how products and services are distributed. The Network fulfills the role of providing access to markets, products and services and the professionals that go along with these products and services which are offered to its clients.

Each Independent Agency is an entrepreneur in the industry. Independent Agencies retain an enormous advantage over all other distribution systems today - local presence in their community and expertise. Studies show that even though buyers are becoming more aware of choices, the majority also want the expertise and knowledge of a professional for guidance.

Advantage Insurance Agency Network will benefit our customers. Network Agencies can identify their clients' needs and offer many products and services from the Network Affiliation. These choices were not previously available to either the Client or the Agency.

Clients can purchase their insurance and financial products from someone they know and trust - that local presence. Each Network Agency has the ability to satisfy all of a customer's needs whether it's auto, life, homeowners, business insurance or investments.

The Independent Network Agent has the ability to offer multiple choices, allowing it to distinguish itself from direct writers or captive agents who are limited in their offerings.

By local neighborhood presence and diversity of markets, products and services, our system is poised to be able to deliver to our customer in the next century.
