Default Home Insurance Info

Just got the email that the villages insurance requires you to have a bonded insured and licenced homewatch person. And there is a list.

In order to keep your rate, if the home is not a full time residence, you must show a contract w/ a legit homewatch co. or lose your coverage

I am not positive, but I don't believe that is the case with all insurance companies. Try calling Elaine at Allstate 753-4340. They sell home insurance with several Florida companies.

As of last year, you could get insurance thru AAA with no home watch by professional.

Defnitely try Elaine at Allstate. We ran into the same problem last October. Allstate doesn't require this.

Asianthree, you are right. No sinkhole insurance through Elaine. I haven't figured out why that is. Villages Insurance still offers it?

If you're having trouble getting sinkhole coverage, contact Rita Canty with Brightway Insurance out of Jacksonville - (904) 646-1850

They represent a vast majority of the insurance companies that write HO insurance in FL. I'm sure they'll be able to help you.

Villages Ins. tried that with us last May and we went with a different agency. We went with AAA. They were very easy to deal with with. We do not have sinkhole ins. tho.
