You’ll probably have to go through Citizens, the state’s insurer. Call your auto insurance agent and see if they write it. If not many/most State Farm agents do.
But before you do that go ahead and call around to some local brokers and see if they have any companies writing new policies, or call the Florida Market Assistance Plan, set up to help people find coverage. You can call them at 800-524-9023 or register online at http://www.fmap.org.
From what I’ve seen Citizens is the safest bet. But I haven’t seen everything.
Well, there aren’t many companies in FL writing new homeowners policies, besides Citizens – the state fund. The ones that are, well, they’re not rated by AM Best, and the financials I’ve looked at indicate they don’t have enough money to pay off if there’s a major hurricane situation.
Bottom line – you need to find a local agent, and listen to them. They’re probably going to tell you, “Citizens”, and that’s probably where you’ll end up.
The answer could vary by person.It is alway a good idea to hear the suggestion from different sides and try to choose the best one.Here is a good one i recommend.
