Yes, so long as the agent is licensed and appointed for that particular line of insurance he/she may furnish materials and show proposals for any company authorized and licensed to sell that line in Florida. However, if the agent actually writes the business and it does not fall into the category of excess or rejected business, the company must apply for an appointment for the agent when it receives the application for insurance. Further, the company may not pay the agent a commission until the appointment is actually issued. [Sec. 626.954(v), F.S.]
