I’ve written a few Homeowners Core policies and have been very pleased with the entire process. The underwriting has been awesome, everyone has been super helpful, and the pricing has been great!

I just wanted to send you a short email to brag on an underwriter in the PL department that went over and beyond what he had to today to help me…

Getting good service in today’s world is rare.

My underwriter is fantastic. Every time I reach out, she gets it right the first time. She’s so good that I told her to take the rest of the day off.
