I just spotted this. Is anyone being affected by this / have ideas get affordable insurance?

Progressive is one of the companies featured in the article. The Villages homeowner's whose insurance premium increased by 69% use Progressive.

Guessing you are one of the few that didn’t increase. Our went up 47%, switched, and already know my next renewal will be much higher. Watched insurance change drastically over the last 13 years, in TV. No clickbait needed, just hands on information

No such thing as a free roof all your neighbors scammed the insurance companies for

Maybe the "Developer" can come up with a solution. They have a bank, why not start and insurance company?

No body scammed anybody. If one doesn’t need a new roof, the insurance adjuster and the insurance co can deny the claim.I actually had an adjuster soliciting roof work. When I called my insurance co they were fine with that, no conflict! The insurance co won’t lose, they raise your rates , the roofers are happpy, and the shingle manufacturers are happy that nobody is asking why a 30 year shingle needs replacing in 10 or 15 years

I have a bridge to sell you.

The Villages Ins only has other ins companies, not their own. It is only a broker.

Our insurance bill just went up $500! We are paying for all those people who took advantage of a loophole that needs to be fixed.
Those salesman that knocked on your door saying that you need to have your roof replaced and told you that all you had to do was to assign your insurance policy over to them. They have ‘their” own inspectors and lawyers to to fight the insurance company in court knowing that the roof is old and needs replacement.
Now you people got a new roof while the rest of us are stuck paying more for our insurance for you to have your “free” roof.
There is no such thing as a free lunch but in this case your neighbors are…..but don’t think they don’t talk about the people that take advantage. We have several of them in our neighborhood bragging about it and most of these people are against Socialism. Go figure that one out.

I would have notified the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation and verified they don’t consider it a conflict either.

I switched to Kin Ins. Did it all on the internet and spoke to a Representative on the phone. Kin saved me $800 over Progressive
They were great.
