As independent insurance agents, we offer a wide variety of personal and commercial, common and specialty, insurance products from many different insurance companies. In fact, we are known for helping our customers with unique or difficult insurance situations. For example, even though Maryland is ranked #10 among states with the most coastline (NOAA Tidal Method) including the largest estuary in the United States, the Chesapeake Bay, many insurance companies do not offer coastal property or flood insurance to Maryland residents. McManus Insurance does offer flood insurance and coastal property insurance for primary and secondary waterfront homes & properties. We also offer skilled trade insurance, farm insurance, artisan insurance, gun & jewelry insurance, second home, vacation property, condo, motorcycle, ATV, travel trailer... and many other types of specialty and hard to find property and casualty insurance policies, including personal, independent contractor, business and corporate coverage.

The following description for "Independent insurance agent" appears on Wikipedia:

"Independent insurance agents, also known as insurance sales agents or "producers", typically sell a variety of insurance and financial products, including property insurance and casualty insurance, life insurance, health insurance, disability insurance, and long-term care insurance.

Property and casualty insurance agents sell insurance policies that protect individuals and businesses from financial loss resulting from automobile accidents, fire, theft, storms, and other events that can damage property. For businesses, property and casualty insurance can also cover injured Workers Compensation Insurance, product liability claims, or medical malpractice claims.

Independent insurance agents typically represent a number of insurance companies, or "carriers", and sell the products that most appropriately meet the needs of their clients. Independent agents typically are very well trained and knowledgeable of the complexities of the insurance market and insurance law.[1] Their expertise allows them to advise their clients about appropriate amounts of insurance and insurance coverages for their particular needs. Often, independent insurance agents will work with insurance intermediaries, which obtain quotes from multiple insurance providers and passes them off to the independent agent. Working with an insurance intermediary service allows the independent agent to review many quotes and offer their clients the best policy options available. For their efforts, independent agents are paid a commission (remuneration).[2]

In addition to insurance policies, agents often sell mutual funds, annuities, and products that address wealth management, retirement and estate planning. Independent agents must be licensed by the states in which they sell insurance and financial products."
