Hunter Nelson explains why insurance agents shouldn't submit the same request to one underwriter through multiple agents. Underwriters see duplicate submissions as a red flag and often close the quote entirely, killing the deal for everyone involved.
Now, when you— how many agents do you call? I preach this all the time. Do not call 10 people. Now, because when you guys do that, if you have 5 agents going to the same insurance company, I've had this happen. This is not just me saying this. If an underwriter gets multiple submissions from multiple different agents, they're just going to go, all right, this is not somebody we want to work with. We're just going to close out the quote and not even bother doing it. This doesn't sound right or fair, but underwriters want to place business. They want to win the deal somehow.
