Insurance is an essential safeguard that everyone needs for different parts of their life. Not only is it important to find the best policy that fits your needs, but it’s just as important to find the right agency to provide you insurance. There are many agencies out there, and you may feel overwhelmed and simply not know where to begin. While we definitely recommend our agency to our readers and followers in the Florida area, today we’d like to share vital characteristics that should be at the top of your list when choosing an agency to work with. 

Treats You Like a Person, Not Simply a Number
Many insurance agencies, typically large, franchise corporations, have so many clients that they almost in a sense become desensitized to their clients and their individual needs. After a while they may even see
each of their clients as a dollar sign instead of a person with wants and needs. Going with a big corporation for your insurance might seem like the best and easiest way to go, but the truth is that a small, family-owned local agency might be more suitable for you. The goal is to find an
agent that listens to you, answers your questions, and truly goes above and beyond for all of your
requests and requirements. Consider shopping locally when it comes to your policy. 

A Company That Gives Back
When you’re in this type of business not only should you be looking out for the welfare of your
customers, but it’s also important to give back to your community. The best agencies participate in
charities, community happenings or special events like food banks, fundraisers, nonprofits, etc. This shows that the company and their workers genuinely care about people instead of just business. 

Knowledgeable and Experienced
It’s not mandatory to shop for insurance through an agency. When someone chooses to go this route,
it’s because they’re seeking guidance and advice. They want their questions answered and want to be
pointed in the right direction. If you’re looking for someone with extensive knowledge of the
insurance industry and experience with guiding other customers on the right path, you’re in the right place. 

Satisfied Customers
One of the first things that many people do before they go to a restaurant, buy a product, or even
choose an insurance agency is to read the reviews. In many cases, if a company has a track record of 5-star reviews, you can rest assured that you will be going somewhere you will be taken care of. The more reviews, the better! Take a moment to sift through customer reviews and see what previous customers have to say before you make a decision.

If you’re a Florida resident, or if you simply follow our social media, you’ve undoubtedly heard about the homeowners insurance crisis happening in Florida. Recently, Florida officials have been gathering to come up with solutions to fix this problem in our state. So far, they have passed two bills that are aimed to fix this problem, but experts say that it will still take time for this issue to be truly fixed.

The two bills that were passed were senate bill 4-A and senate bill 2-A. One of these bills provides millions of dollars in disaster relief to residents who have been affected from the recent Florida hurricanes. The other bill is a property insurance reform that has a goal of stabilizing the Florida market by strengthening consumer protections and increasing competition.

Apparently one cause to the state of Florida’s market is litigation. And unfortunately, certain law firms and contractors are against these attempts to fix the market because they have actually benefited from the chaotic state is has been in. Having important people against the efforts is the first reason that the process may be slower in fixing.

The next factor that is affecting and slowing down the process is reinsurance. According to a financial advisor, reinsurance is shrinking the market because insurance companies use this to protect their balance sheets. Because this is necessary and expensive, the costs may be passed down the policy holders, which still puts them in a bind of having higher rates than they deserve.

It is said that Florida residents will not be seeing any improvement in the market this year, but there is hope for the near future. More bills are being passed and officials are accepting feedback and input from Florida residents.
