SURE Now Provides E&S Homeowners Insurance in Florida

Houston, TX – December 6, 2022 – SURE, the member-owned insurance company for reliable coastal property protection, today announced it now writes excess and surplus lines property insurance in Florida. In partnership with SageSure, a leading provider of catastrophe-exposed property insurance, SURE brings much-needed underwriting capacity to producers in the state to better serve Florida homeowners.

In 2022, six property insurance carriers in Florida have declared insolvency. Many others have chosen to suspend business or leave the state altogether.

“Florida is facing unique challenges in addition to being one of the most catastrophe-exposed areas in the country,” said Ed Konar, President of SURE. “We’re proud to continue our mission to serve producers and homeowners in states where our solutions are needed most.”

While this marks SURE’s first program in Florida, the policyholder-owned reciprocal has more than 120,000 policyholders across North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. SURE partners with SageSure as its surplus lines agent, and its products are available through SageSure’s network of insurance producers and national brokers in coastal states.

“Our role is to serve producers and to help them bring more solutions to their customers,” said Jon Gingrich, Senior Vice President of Sales at SageSure. “We are excited to partner with SURE to help producers say ‘yes’ to more risks that would otherwise not find coverage in the admitted market while providing the unrivaled service that makes placing complex business easy.”
