As the trusted choice for Florida’s Homeowner Insurance, we offer policies to protect every unique Florida property & homeowner:
Our Policies Protect Every Florida Property
Condominium Coverages. If you live in a condo unit, it is your association's responsibility to protect all of the commonly owned property, but your unit needs its own liability and property insurance. Our condominium owners policy works just like a homeowners policy – it covers loss of use, loss of belongings, and other options you may want to consider.
You need condominium insurance for any number of reasons:
- Belongings are often damaged. Everything inside your condo unit is your responsibility. Whether you have a fire or a burglary, you are responsible for having secured homeowners insurance that will allow you to replace everything in your Tallahassee condo.
- Someone may be injured while staying at your condo unit. Bodily injury and property damage happen every day. Be prepared for common but not unheard-of incidents with a policy that has you covered.
- You may not be able to live in your unit due to damage. A fire or some other mishap may have you seeking an additional living space. Appropriate condominium coverage will cover your living expenses elsewhere while your unit is being repaired.
Renters Insurance. You may be renting a home, apartment, condo, or something else, but you still need insurance coverage. If your belongings are damaged, they cost money to replace them. Do not be without renters insurance. Our renters insurance policies are written with Tallahassee renters in mind every day.
Landlord Insurance Dwelling Policy. If investment properties are a source of revenue, we know how important your properties are to you as a landlord. When a dwelling is damaged, we understand that you need to know you are protected. Our property and liability lines of coverage are clear and comprehensive, meaning that your worries are over. As a landlord, you have many options to consider, so let our property insurance experts lend a hand in helping you choose what is right for you.

Ordinance & Law. This type of coverage is already included in most homeowners policies. For a small charge, however, you may increase this protection. Contact us for advice so that, in the event of a catastrophe, you will not be caught unaware due to changes in laws and codes.
