I do sometimes. Might as well let them do most of the legwork and see what they can do. Recently my guy found me a regional company with a better rate than my already cheap Progressive policy.

Do you just start by googling independent insurance agents in your area and reach out to a few of them? Anything good or bad to look out for?

Yeah google or word of mouth recommendations. I'd say just don't let them pressure you into anything - they are salesman so some might be aggressive.

The independent guys should be like a financial advisor in that they should be asking you questions about the whole picture. Does an umbrella policy make sense? What are your goals - cheapest or best coverage for your family, etc. They'll be sales-y, but thats expected... just without pressure.
