If you require assistance or have questions, agents are welcome to contact their aligned underwriter directly. Questions can also be directed to AnaMari Smith, Agency Relationship Manager at asmith@gorstcompass.com. 

Or please refer to our list of frequently asked questions: 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Commissions

  • Agency Billed Policies – Commissions are retained upfront. If a policy cancels mid-term, we will request repayment of any unearned commission from your agency. We recommend collecting deposit premiums from insures when policies are bound.
  • Direct Billed Policies – Commission payments are issued on a monthly basis when funds are received from carriers.

Accounting Questions

Claims Reporting

  • In the event of a claim, please complete an Acord loss form and email it to claims@gorstcompass.com. Once received, we will report it to the appropriate carrier. If the insured would like to report directly to the carrier, please review the policy for additional information and notify Gorst & Compass.
