Being in the insurance business, you would think it’s easy for me to buy any kind of insurance, right? I thought so, too, until I went to find a new Homeowner’s Insurance policy. I did the right thing and decided to compare at least 4 companies. I ended up with 6 choices. After making sure the agents each knew exactly what I was looking for I got their quotes.

And that’s where the frustration started. I thought I was insuring my home for the same amount, but each company has its own way of valuing what it costs to rebuild a home. Plus, I ran onto the “get a discount if we insure both your cars & house” pitch.

I spent part of the last 2 weeks narrowing it all down. In the end I settled on Farmers Insurance Company because their agent was the easiest to talk to. And the price was good, though not the cheapest. And they got my cars, too.
