State Farm Won’t Roll The Dice In Florida | Should They Get Your Auto Insurance Business?

State Farm is the most recent of the national insurance carriers to announce that it will no longer be writing home owners insurance policies in the state of Florida.  This announcement will effect approximately 1.2 million Florida households many of which are located in the Miami and South Florida area.

Critics are quick to point out that State Farm agents may be tempted to steer their clients to Citizens for their homeowners insurance while trying to retain the auto and life insurance business by offering “multi-line discounts”, however Citizens may not be the best fit for all current State Farm customers.

I defend State Farms right to only engage in those insurance lines in Florida that they feel will be profitable however customer retention of their auto, life and other insurance lines may be a tough battle.
