My homeowners is not up until Sept with American Integrity, guess I have to stay with them, any suggestions.
We have ASI through the Villages insurance. Our cost has risen from $800 to $1500 since we bought the house in 2008. One reason we stay is because we have sinkhole insurance in this policy. Once we change companies and leave ASI we would need an inspection to obtain it from a new company. Many houses do not pass inspection unless they are newer builds even though there are no sinkholes in the neighborhood. It is harder to get sinkhole insurance on previously owned homes. Many times they will write your policy and say pending sinkhole inspection. If they tell you this ask them how many pre-owned homes actually pass these inspections.
