About

We specialize in helping homeowners facing non-renewals, properties in high wildfire risk zones, and any situation where standard coverage has become hard to find.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the California FAIR Plan?

The California FAIR Plan is a state-mandated insurance option for properties that cannot obtain coverage through the standard market. It is often used for homes in wildfire or high-risk areas. It provides basic fire insurance — not a full replacement for a standard homeowners policy.

Is the FAIR Plan the same as regular homeowners insurance?

No. FAIR Plan coverage is more limited than a standard homeowners policy. Many clients also need supplemental coverage — often called a Difference in Conditions (DIC) policy — to fill gaps like liability, water damage, and theft.

Can you help if my insurance company non-renewed me?

Yes. We help clients review available options after non-renewals, cancellations, or major premium increases. We can also help you understand your timeline and immediate next steps.

Can I still get insurance in a wildfire area?

In many cases, yes. Coverage options depend on the property, location, roof age, defensible space, and other factors. We help identify which carriers and programs will consider your specific address.

Do you only help with home insurance?

No. We also help with auto insurance, commercial insurance, rental properties, and business coverage across California.

Will switching to your agency change my coverage?

No. If you choose to move your existing policy to our agency, changing the broker of record does not change your coverage, premium, or carrier. We simply become your point of contact for service.
