Homeowner Market on Cape Cod

For the past few years, many homeowner insurance companies have removed themselves from the Cape Cod market. This has left LOCAL Cape based insurance agencies with a challenge... who can they use as an insurance company for Cape & Islands residents?

Once insurance companies have PULLED their business from the Cape, they have been hesitant to start writing insurance policies on Cape Cod. If they had insurance policies on Cape Cod, they were charging much higher premiums due to the high risk of wind damage (ie hurricanes).

We work with a few high quality insurance companies who will write homeowner policies on Cape Cod given certain criteria; two of those companies being Arbella Mutual Insurance and Safety Insurance.

Recently we were told New London County, based out of Connecticut, is accepting NEW BUSINESS on Cape Cod. They have also lowered their windstorm deductible FROM 3% to 2% on new and existing policies. New London County will have criteria to meet to write business, but this is great news for the residents of Barnstable County.

Happy New Year 2010!

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.
~Benjamin Franklin

Welcome to the New Year!



May you be richly blessed and prosper in 2010.
I leave you with a poem...
"Another fresh new year is here...
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest...
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
One more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!"
