An insurance agent is responsible for the sales of the company's insurance products/services. An agent is generally considered to be the agent of the insurer, whereas a broker is generally considered to be a representative of the insured. That is, the agent is more closely bound to the insurer that it represents, whereas a broker usually represents many insurers and shops for an insured. That said, there is becoming less of a distinction between the two. An agent also often gets involved in assisting the insurer with submitting covered claims to the insurer for payment. An agent has a fiduciary duty to the insured (a duty of trust and to act in good faith). An agent is licensed and regulated by the insurance regulatory authority of the state(s) in which he/she transacts business.
The agent represents the insurance company, not the customer who is buying the insurance.
