Who should home owners pick for insurance?

You know normally we wouldn't write an article about home insurance. It doesn't tend to be a topic that people really want to know about or think about that much. However we thought it would be important to know that Allstate will no longer be offering new home owners in california insurance policies for their homes. Allstate press release.

So why would we write on this? Well first of all you apparently aren't in good hands with Allstate. According to www.inman.com Allstate requested a 12% increase on rates in California. I don't know about you but when was the last time you got a 12% for doing exactly the same job. The new insurance commissioner of the state of California is really coming down on companies for doing this and hurting the consumer.

What I can recommend is that you make sure you you have adequate insurance and that you use someone you can trust. I don't normally do this but I can recommend a company that is reliable. Their information is below.

Landmark Insurance Agency
5406 Lincoln AveCypress, CA 90630

Ask for Jason McKelvey. I get nothing out of referring Jason other than knowing he takes care of people He insures my assets as well as many friends and family. He has not asked for this endorsement because he is that kind of guy. Trust me he won't leave you like Allstate is apparently doing.

Please feel free to weigh in on your thoughts.
