Insurance is not flexible the company does a risk analyses and decides what to charge for a given risk or perhaps to refuse to insure that risk.

Different companies may decide a different risk.

Simply stated, I would contact one of the insurance brokers in the villages. I am surprised your realtor does not know or know who will find an answer for you.
