What Does Broker Resource Center Do?

Broker Resource Center was formed in 1991 with the realization that no one financial institution can provide and service all of an individual's financial needs, and that an independent agent or broker is best suited as the intermediary. Broker Resource Center's role is to help agents or brokers select the financial company that provides the best in value, strength and service.
