We are considering State Farm due to their lower sinkhole and hurricane deductibles. (Their premiums are higher for these endorsements.)

Likes? Dislikes?

Thanks.

We had State Farm most of our lives until we came to TV. Connie Duff Wise and husband caused many of us to dump SF as they doubled ++ the premiums.
Then for a few years they were not writing any more policies due to recent years hurricane experience.

They are now quoting again and have become competitive.
They have attractive hurricane and sink hole options. If one chooses their sink hole coverage there is an inspection that must be performed before under writing.

So after all these years and recent years of brand X we are back with State Farm. Check out Chris Semens. Very efficient, friendly, always available and consistent follow up. Attributes the bigger reps seem to have lost.

We had State Farm for almost 35 years while living in Tennessee and had no problems with them. They paid any claims quickly and fairly. When we moved to TV last December we stayed with State Farm because of our experiences with them with our previous home. I'm not real happy with the agency we deal with, and may change agents when renewal comes up. When I call them I always get a recording never a real person. I've left messages to call me it has taken as much as two days for them to return my call. Customer service doesn't seem to be their main concern. This is the agency located on 466.

Unfortunately what happens when some get too big and too busy....they lose the perspective of serving the customer. Borderline line too big to care!!

What are they charging for Homeowners? Better than the $600-800 from TV insurance providers?

We had State Farm (SF) for many years here in Florida - southwest, Florida, that is, until they stopped insuring here. We kept their car insurance, however. I didn't like any of the insurance companies we had after that. Once SF came back to FL and we knew we were moving to TV land, I called and emailed the SF agent here, twice, and never got a return call, so I used our SF agent in Southwest, FL to insure our home here. We did get a sink hole inspection, and the coverage. We also had a wind mitigation inspection, which dropped our yearly price by, I think it was $40..

Great feedback about State Farm. Any thoughts on AAA?

AAA is a sort of broker for many insurance companies. They are not the insurer.

You should take all of your casualty insurance policies to Angela Taylor at Frank Slaughter Insurance on Main Street in Wildwood , I just did so and one of my carriers was State Farm. Angela discovered several " Gaps " in my coverages which could be closed for very small amounts . I left with all new companies which are the highest rated but at less annual expense than I had been paying .
I had State Farm here for over 8 years . Never heard from anyone until they received my cancellation notices same thing with The Villages Insurance agency . Make an appointment with Angela . You will be glad that you did so .
