I guess I should have told you all that I was working for Allstate on 466 for several years. I had two jobs, one was to answer the phone and field insurance calls and the second was to do insurance quotes, both homeowners and auto. I usually did about 50 per week. About three quarters of those were homeowner's quotes. I did quit that job a couple of years ago and kept in touch with the owners Mike and Elaine. So I wrote Elaine an e-mail last night to ask her about what you said. Elaine's primary job was to write homeowner's policies. Here is her response:
"About homeowners insurance - Allstate per se wasn't offering Allstate homeowners insurance as they got out of the homeowner's insurance due to the hurricanes in the years prior, but we had brokered companies such as Tower Hill, Security First, Federated National, and a few others whom we wrote lots of insurance for.
Mike and Elaine retired about a year ago and the agency has been taken over by a new owner.
There is another Allstate insurance office down the road off 466 which you may have called instead of our office and got your information. We don't know what they were doing as each agency is owned independently. Our office was located next to New York Pizza in the shopping plaza next to Chengs.
