That's stalking and illegal. I also don't think I've ever known the full name of any insurance rep but i didn't use local ones.
Legalities never stopped them before.
The agent is a local, usually small business, and acts as a buyer on your behalf. They guide you on coverage to get, and the options available to you.
Those quotes come from the major insurance companies you always see advertised. They are the ones underwriting your coverage. These are almost invariably faceless corporations, with decisions by faceless computers.
The local agent can't do anything but recommend coverage elsewhere.
