When I was closing last year things were so crazy I didn’t shop around much, but now that it’s time to renew I hope I can improve on the premium. I have a 4 story 3 family brownstone.
Thanks.

  1. We use a State Farm agent in Queens, (Jennifer O’Kane, 718-429-7781). You can probably find one in Brooklyn if you want someone close-by. State Farm was pricing I’ve found for umbrella homeowners/auto. Had a (When we moved from Queens to Brooklyn, auto went up 50%. ouch.)

  2. Cornetor,

    I was dropped by Allstate as were many New York State residents who did not have multiple policies (i.e. auto &car.) A class action lawsuit was filed against Allstate on behalf New Yorkers. A settlement has been reached and basically these are the terms: You can call Allstate and they will reinstate your policy but you will then forfeit the right to a monetary settlement which would be miniscule anyway or opt out all together and await a monetary settlement.

    If you decide to have the policy reinstated, you will not be required to pay for the first year up front.

    The number to call is 1-800-255-7828. Tell them that you want your policy reinstated under the terms of the class action suit.

  3. Have always had very reasonable rates and good service from All-Boro Brokerage. In the middle of Brooklyn, and far more inexpensive than anything else we’ve found. I forget their exact address, but they’re in the phone book. Good luck with your search.

  4. Libery Mutual is good. I just called the 800 number and got set up, did not bother going through a local agent. The woman who I dealt with gave me her direct number and I call her if I need anything. I think she is in Florida.

  5. I must admit to also getting in contact with Ryan Fortier. He has my 4-story, 3-family brownstone insured through Liberty Mutual and the rate seems reasonable (I’m on my 2nd year and the rate hardly moved). I guess he must be the real deal. I also learned about him on this forum.

  7. We were just dropped by allstate and I contacted Ryan Fortier of Liberty Mutual (recommend by someone else on b’stoner), as well as a few others. Ryan was the only one who was able to match my allstate coverage at the same premium. Ryan Fortier, 212-398-2480
