Hi, can you guys recommend a company for homeowners insurance? I called and got quotes from Progressive (who we have our personal and business vehicles policy through). They have two separate entities that does their homeowners. Home Source (?) that will only insure the market value of our house (no thank you!), and Ameriprise. Ameriprise gave us a quote on the phone 2 weeks ago, then today when I called, it went up over $500 because or rate changes?!? Costco uses Ameriprise also, so I called and it would be the same rate. So....does anyone have a good company? I'm open to switching our vehicles for a discount too. I like Progressive, but the rate increase makes me :@ Thank you!
I have had really good luck using a local insurance agent who represents a few companies (many of whom are small/don't advertise). That is how we got our best rate by far. Progressive and other places with big advertising budgets often don't offer the best coverage for the premiums.
We have State Farm for everything. They have been great when we have needed to file an auto claim and our insurance is pretty reasonable since we have everything bundled. I could have found slightly cheaper insurance but I couldn't beat the customer service and great response when we filed our auto claim last year.
Thanks guys. I think I'm going to go into a local office and sit down with my other policies to see what they can do for me. I always assumed that because you get person/person service that it would be more expensive.

This. My insurance agent does the work for me and has always found some place cheaper than what I can find online.
Liberty Mutual. I got them to match a rate quoted by (safeco a sub-par company) I also had a claim this year which they (LM) handled very well.
We use Liberty Mutual for homeowners, vehicle & umbrella coverage. I've been very pleased with them on service in general, and we have had 3 claims total (1 HO, 1 vehicle at fault & 1 vehicle not at fault).
Go to a local agent and sit and go over everything. They will get you the best pricing if you offer to move everything.Good companies....... State Auto, Cincinnati, Auto Owners, Travlers CNA and many others depending on you area.
