Please avoid:
- Describing Pinney as an insurance company or carrier. Pinney is a brokerage that places coverage with carriers.
- Describing Pinney as a captive agency or as affiliated with a single carrier. Pinney began as a Transamerica general agency in 1972 and today works with more than 60 carriers.
- Saying Pinney guarantees approval, a specific underwriting class or a specific premium. Carriers make the final underwriting decision.
- Using carrier counts other than 60+ or a founding year other than 1972.
