Did you end up with a company/quote from the thread the other day?
I take back what I said about Met..life. Our HO renewal just went up 40% since we bought this house 3 years ago. No claims, no major damage in our area, WTF. We have top credit scores, an umbrella, auto and HO bundle.
I checked with Am.ica but it was about the same as the renewal.
I guess we've just had a steal of a deal the last couple of years, since I am not finding anything less than the current renewal cost. My agent is shopping for us too, but he didn't handle A so I checked that after seeing the glowing reviews for them in your thread. Our agent told me insurance companies do what they want because they are evil, LOL. I agee.
