I was referred by a colleague to a guy in Boro Park that claims he can save me about 50% on my car insurance policy. The total savings for the year would come out to about $1,300.00. The catch is that he's asking for a brokers fee of ... $1,300.00, his logic being that it's an investment for the future. Anyway's, i'm not about to fork over $1,300 cash to some guy i don't know. I'm posting this because I was wondering if
A) has anyone heard of similar cases? Ie, brokers that have some crazy shtick and get you cheaper policies than you would be able to find on your own?
B) how could i do this myself and avoid a broker's fee?
