How to find a mortgage broker in your area?

[Petur Karlsson]

Hey everyone! 

At this point, I've cast a wide net and still no luck finding an insurance broker to "add to my team", so to speak. My rehab insurance is running out, my investment property is almost rent-ready and my current insurance broker is being unresponsive. I need to find myself a great deal on landlord insurance, umbrella coverage and a platform to send my tenants to for renters insurance.

 Does anyone experienced here mind sharing with us how they went about finding their rock star go to insurance guy/gal? need inspiration and insights to help me get over this stumbling block. Am I better off connecting with the big names in the insurance industry (State Farm, Nationwide etc.) or is there true benefit in finding a local broker that will do the leg of the work for me comparing rates and such?

Any insights are very much appreciated, thank you so much!
