The reason being what I already mentioned.
With State Farm, you are an employee of the company, as such, the book of business belongs to them.
With Allstate, you own your business (which start up costs are around $50K last I checked) and are not an employee. As such, you can sell your book or you can pass it on to a son/daughter, etc.
