Does anyone have an insurance agent at TV Insurance they really like?

Our agent left TV Insurance a couple of years ago and I was very unhappy with the one assigned to us, so I changed insurance companies. Now, I am happy with my agent at AAA, but cannot get sinkhole insurance. I want to check with TV, but want a recommended agent.

Thank you!

I shopped The Villages Insurance and found their cost for sinkhole coverage a little high. I ended up with the local Allstate agency. My cost for the HO-3 policy was the same but the sinkhole coverage was $220 per year less.

Try Karen at Sumter-Marion Insurance in the SR 466 shopping center -- 751-6560.
As an independent agency, they represent several carriers.I had sinkhole protection added for about $60 a year.

Yup, we just got our bill and about the same here with The Villages Insurance, and the car is 7 years old, no violations or accidents! We'll probably change to another company.

Thank you for all of the replies. I got a little side-tracked with termite and pest protection, but will now focus on insurance and a new roof.

I had a sink hole inspection last November and the inspector said all looked good. However, sinkhole coverage was denied. The fact that coverage was denied was bad, but the fact that I was charged $70 (ins company paid $70) and denied with no refund was really irritating.
