I have Progressive through The Villages insurance. No major increases in 6 years.

There is old saying. "If you can't beat them join them. You should've gotten a free new roof like everyone else.

I'll second the vote for Progressive. But, also shop around a bit.

Have another coffee...... No claims and a new roof suggests to me they PAID for it..... a lot of us paid for roofs and got rates hikes to pay for the free ones!

State Farm on Warm Springs Rd. We bundled our home, car and golf cart. Spend a couple of hours for the driving course (at home on line) and get a good discount.

Real estate values increasing……insurance to follow.

Thank you for the leads, good people

Have asked current broker to come up with other quotes - you would think that would be part of their job anyway, but I guess if they're receiving a percentage as commission then the higher the premium the more they like it.

Have Villages Insurance “shop” your HO coverage. Also, as someone else suggested, check with State Farm. Ask if there are discounts for bundling your home, auto, and golf cart coverages, and if so, get quotes for all. As BogieShooter mentioned, home values are also increasing, which will increase premiums, but certainly not by 56%.

I would take issue with your comment about commission. Agents have hundreds, if not more, clients’ policies renewing each month. It’s pretty difficult to review each one; it’s probably more a case of the squeaky wheel …

If your home value went up 30%, (about average in TV last year) it should increase your taxes by a larger percentage than your insurance. OP, I would definitely be “shopping” for a better deal on my homeowners insurance.
