Due to local, state, and federal restrictions following the national emergency response to COVID-19, our team will be working remotely. We will do our best to complete your request in a timely manner but this requires you to share as much about the risk as you know to eliminate unnecessary back and forth. We appreciate your patience and understanding at this time.

Homes/Condos/Rentals: Please make sure to provide the year full updates were made to heating, plumbing, roofing, and electrical within the app. It helps immensely.

Many people face hours of time wasted and the stress of shopping around only to find that they have been denied standard homeowners insurance. The reasons homeowners are being excluded from coverage are growing as insurance companies become more adept as spotting potential problems.

Indeed, your home doesn’t have to sit on the Florida coastline or in “Tornado Alley” to be considered a high risk by insurance companies. Flooding, Hail, Wind, Wild Res, Earthquake, Mold Contamination and Crime– all liabilities that could red flag your insured’s home as a high risk. C.I.G is appointed with multiple carriers to address most of these risks.
