Did you find a source for insurance? I have had Farmers for 25 years but they seem to be increasing the cost every year and trying to get me to change.
I’ve looked around a bit and followed several suggestions, but I haven’t found a source.
Yes, we had problems a few years ago when we first bought our property in Camp Connell. Allstate (our carrier at the time) has not written new home policies for years, State Farm would not cover since we’re in a “fire” area. Neither would AAA. However, Liberty Mutual would cover us. Lucky them since we moved ALL our insurance policies to them. Been happy since (well, except for cost….)
Our place in BTV is insured through Foremost Insurance- they are part of the Farmers Group and are A rated. We use Mark Twain Insurance Agency in Angels Camp. Our carrier for our primary residence is Safeco, and they wouldn’t do it- and our agent there had no other sources.
I wish another reputable insurance company would write new policies up here. We have six houses and two cars insured with State Farm. They will renew policies but won’t write new ones. I would love to tell State Farm to take their policies and shove them where the sun doesn’t shine!
We bought in Arnold in the fall and Geico (via Travelers) insured us. We sold our Dorrington cabin, and after having State Farm for years, they were not writing new policies. Good Luck.
I have Allstate for both my homes. Four years ago when we had bad storms, I had a big tree come down in my garage. Their process was very easy and I had a check to make things good in about 10 days. No questions asked
