IMS Markets

Let the power of 16 state associations help you get access to even more programs.

Independent Market Solutions (IMS) was established in 2017 with the goal of creating greater market access for member agents. In 2019, Independent Insurance Agents of Texas made the investment to be a part of IMS and, since that time, we have grown market availability in Texas to include many of their participating carriers that offer personal, commercial, and various specialty lines. Our current carrier partners include Attune Small Commercial, CNA Surety, Coterie Small Commercial, JIBNA Personal Jewelry Insurance, Prudent Pet, and Progressive Auto.

The purpose of IMS is to provide member agents access to quality insurance markets and alternatives that may be otherwise unavailable. IMS creates marketplace leverage through its negotiated contracts, which can be particularly helpful for smaller or rural agents.

IIAT membership allows your agency to sign-up for the program and gain carrier appointments as an IMS sub-producer at no additional cost. Features include:

  • Little or no premium volume requirements for most programs
  • Competitive commissions
  • 100% Ownership of expirations
  • Ability to “graduate” to a direct appointment available where available
  • Online application process for market access (subject to carrier approval)

And now introducing Semsee - a free CL comparative rater resource available to IIAT members participating in our IMS Access program!
