Make sure that they have a good reputation and that they actually know what they're talking about. For instance, if you're only making $30,000 a year and someone tries to sell you a $5M Umbrella policy, they're more interested in their pockets than yours. Personal lines is usually a way to get to the bigger ticket items like investments and annuities, so just be aware of that. Almost all insurance agents are upstanding, highly moral people, but there are a few that are scam artists, just like in any industry (RIP, Mr. Lay).
