State Farm Homeowners Insurance Florida Cancellations Cause Homeowner Turburlance
 Besides State Farm Florida Insurance Company, other companies like Allstate Floridian, Nationwide Insurance, Travelers, Metropolitan Property & Casualty, Hartford Insurance Company and even Hanover Insurance Company too have been reported to be cancelling policies; or, serving notices of non-renewal. Most of the cross national home and property insurance companies shed their policies and retired from Florida following their incurring massive losses after the 2002, 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons.
Smaller insurance companies find balmy weather
Many people saw red over the decision of Farm Florida to decamp from the state’s home and property insurance market. For most Florida residents and especially for those living in or near coastal areas; finding good home insurance deals has always been a problem. Together with State Farm Florida’s decision to vacate the home insurance market clubbed with the hurricane season having begun, agents are scrambling to fill the pending vacuum. Most agents are facing an uphill task finding suitable candidates to whom to offer policies, while individuals are struggling to locate agents willing to access and provide near ideal policies to cover their properties.
Why the struggle?
Individuals are struggling to locate insurers that would adequately cover them. Largely due to the dominance by the larger companies, people have been left unaware of the insurance options available to them. The big challenge for most is finding insurers willing to provide policies that will cover previously damaged or semi-restored homes; and face the threat of being left uninsured during the hurricane season.
With State Farm Florida’s impending decision to drop its portfolio of policy holders, agents are finding it difficult to locate and process the more premium policy holders who would be left without adequate coverage. Along with this hurdle, smaller companies have guidelines on the kind of homes as well as the areas they are willing to cover. Companies like, ChoiceOne, Tower Hill, Travelers, Bankers, GMAC Home, Mercury, Liberty American, Citizens, American Strategic and Universal Property & Casualty are in a battle to locate and provide coverage to individuals who would be left without insurance due to the looming exit of State Farm Florida from the home and property insurance business in Florida.
