Our home is over 20 years old, but has a two month old roof and is in excellent overall condition. I dumped The Villages Insurance several years ago because of their very poor and slow communication and inability to find us competitive rates relative to an outside agency. My wife and I have owned six homes during our lives and have collectively filed a grand total of ZERO homeowners claims, but that doesn’t seem to work in our favor. I would be willing to consider signing a waiver prohibiting us from litigation for a new roof in exchange for a more reasonable rate if that’s what necessary. I would be very interested in feedback from others who have explored that option?

I started getting quotes 4 months before renewals. Took 3 weeks for one company to get a quote, and 2 weeks for the others.
Then one canceled out quote after drone inspection. No reason given.
One was $3,000 more than any other quote due to pool/cage, not for liability but they just don’t do many pools. Pool part of quote was $2,500.
Kin came in $600 less than current policy, for apples to apples. Next year increase was double.
So using a broker this year and will be starting 4 months early again. We renew in February so, search starts in November
