General & Agency-Related FAQs
What types of insurance do you offer at Lighthouse Insurance Agency?

We provide personalized coverage for personal insurance (auto/car and home), business insurance (including Business Owners Policies, General Liability, Commercial Property, Business Auto, and Umbrella), and income protection and preservation (Life insurance, annuities, and investments). We also specialize in insurance for specific industries, such as electrical contractors, landscapers, and plumbing services.

Are you an independent insurance agency? What does that mean for me?

Yes, we are a locally owned and operated independent insurance agency. This means we work with multiple insurance carriers—not just one—so we can shop around to find the best combination of coverage and price tailored to your needs—something a captive (single-company) agent can’t do.

Many clients appreciate that we go the extra mile, review policies to find savings, and provide responsive, friendly service—whether by phone, in-person at our Lorain office, or online.

Do I have to pay extra to work with an independent insurance agent like Lighthouse?

No. Our services are free to you. We are compensated through commissions from the insurance companies we represent, so you get expert advice and access to multiple carriers at no additional cost.
