Moved to a different insurance broker and they operate like true professionals.

I have several neighbors that have Progressive. Some were renewed and some were canceled. I spoke with a Villages Insurance agent and was told the following:
If you are a full-time resident, such as myself, your policy will be renewed with Progressive. If you are here only part of the year, Progressive will cancel you. Also, Progressive will only write new policies if you are a full-time resident. Apparently, more damage can happen when the owner is not residing in the home such as is the case with snowbirds. I checked with my neighbors and it appears that only the part-timers were, indeed, cancelled.
On another note, my Progressive HO policy went up over 30%. I switched to Kin with identical coverage and the increase was 8%. Also, The Villages Insurance was using Foremost for my two golf carts at $340 per year. I called Progressive directly and now the premium for both carts is a total of $135. I asked The Villages Insurance agent if they review the policy costs on a yearly basis and was told they do not have the manpower to do it. In other words, they just send out the new policy and hope you pay it.
Needless to say, I dumped them. Spend some time online or directly call the insurance companies and save big bucks! Or, try another independent broker that is willing to do the hard work and earn your business.
