An agent is a person who acts on behalf of another.

An agency is an organization that performs the same tasks.

According to law, you may expect that an agent has the powers normally granted to similar agents. For instance, an insurance agent may bind insurance coverage for your new car, even though you've only talked on the phone to him, andyour check won't arrive in the mail for another 3 days. On the other hand, if you ask the insurance agent agrees to insure your $20,000 car for $50,000, the company is off the hook for the $50,000. because that's not something insurance agents ever do .
