Hi Mrs. Basey!

The best place to get the "real" facts about homeowners insurance is to contact some of the great insurance professionals directly in the Pensacola area. Yes, it's true that many homeowners in Florida, not just Pensacola, have had their policies dropped or have witnessed significant premium increases; however, keep in mind that this is related to a very select group of insurance companies.

There are still a number of different insurance agencies writing affordable, quality policies throughout Pensacola and the entire state of Florida.

If you would like some insurance agency contacts to get the "real" facts first hand, please don't hesitate to contact me via phone or email.

Thanks,

The governor of Florida has set a website link on the home page of Shop and Compare for homeowner Insurance Companies in the State of Florida. Most homeowners become comfortable with the Insurance Company that insurers their home. Shop and Compare and you might be able to save some dollars. Take the time and educate yourself.

Insurance is a very complicated issue in the area right now. I understand your confusion and concern. If you are a current home owner the best place to start is with your current insurance agent. If you are thinking of purchasing there's a lot of information available to sort through. Start with your Realtor's recommendation of companies for the area and type of home you're in search of (older homes and those near the water have different insurance issues). Your agent should have the general knowledge to know which insurance agents can give you the appropriate information.

What facts do you want. I'd suggest speaking with those in the insurance profession, agents, managers, .etc and perhaps the state insurance commission.
