6. Are the Insurance Carriers that you deal with reputable? 

  1. Yes! All of the insurance carriers we work with have excellent ratings and reputations.  They are leaders in their industry. As the agency broker I can attest that the last thing we want is to promote an insurance company that does not meet the our Client’s standards.

7. How long does it take to get a quote? 

  1. Good question.  If you want a quote the best way to get a timely quote is to complete and application, provide photos of all dwellings, wood stoves, outbuildings and order “loss runs..aka hard copy loss reports, from your current insurance carrier.  Sometimes these reports are call “Letters of experience.”  We like to go back a full three years on these letters / reports.  This could mean that if you have switched insurance companies several times in the last three years that you will need to place  a call to each insurance company.  On smaller farms we can give an “indication” of price but we will not be able to proceed until we receive all the required items. As an alternative to you providing the photos you could order and pay for an independent insurance inspection. Call our office form more details.

11. What if I do not have prior insurance? 

  1. That is ok. We have plenty of insurance markets. Several insurance companies will accept “new ventures.”  New ventures is commonly referred to as a business without prior confirmed insurance coverage.  Many farm and ranches may have been in business without prior insurance and still be titled as a new venture due to not having verifiable prior insurance coverage.

Claims do happen.  We have insurance carriers that will consider new business with prior claims.  This is a topic that is too large to go into detail on here.  The best process to follow is to order your hard copy loss report from your prior carrier and submit it to us with a completed application.
