    They can\’t even convince new agents to come on board. The press on this failed company is very bad in California. The employees won\’t say publically how bad it really is. They\’re down over 20% PIF in 2004-2005. Wonder if Marty is smoking a Cohiba and laughing right now. Lucky Marty.

    NO, Farmers\’ DOESN\”T write wind on ALL their Texas HO-A policies. They exclude it in the coastal counties and they won\’t even write a policy WITHOUT wind in Galveston. You must have blinders on.

    Ok, everyone has 24/7 claim service today. That\’s nothing new. Farmers was probably one of the last companies to offer that. They\’re so proud of the things they do for their customers when everyone else has already done them. And they\’re completely ignorant of that fact. At State Farm you get to talk to an adjuster immediately, so, I\’d call them better. At Geico and Progressive\’s websites, you can actually do online quote and buys. Farmers is a little behind on that, too. And Allstate introduced a separate hurricane deductible in Texas 7 years and. Farmers\’ district managers are making it seem like they invented it on their new Texas Family policy.

    They\’re behind on the curve, plain and simple. They respond to the market, not innovate the market.

    Jim, is a perfect example of most claims people i deal with at Farmers: fair, honest, compassionate. 99% of claims people do not start out trying to screw a customer. some errors do occur,work within the system, ask for supervision, or even another adjuster. If you follow these steps Farmers pays, everytime, gladly!

    i write and have written farmers HOA policy in orange, jefferson, chambers counties. All are considered coastal counties, or tier 1. we will write in tier 1 counties, but not to the waters edge. Galveston obviously falls in that category.

    With wind excluded. At least the other companies haven\’t left Galveston high and dry and know how to properly apply the HO-140. Duh.
