What Our Customers Say

Great agency! Joseph Boyles was helpful and easy to work with!

My experience with Fearnow Insurance and Joe Boyle was absolutely five star! From my first call to finalizing my homeowners insurance policy I was extremely pleased. Response time from Joe was really impressive. All of my questions were answered timely and I had quite a few of them along the way. He was very professional and made sure that I was comfortable with what I was signing and understood the policy and the coverage I was receiving. Unfortunately, our previous carrier was going out of business and we were on a time crunch with securing new coverage. He understood the sense of urgency and worked hard to make sure we were able to secure the coverage we were needed. I would highly recommend Fearnow Insurance to anyone looking to secure an insurance policy. In addition to my homeowners insurance I will also be reaching out to them to look into automobile insurance.

If you need insurance Fearnow is the place to go! We've used Fearnow for the last few years and have built a great relationship with a lot of the staff but Jean Rodriguez takes the lead (I guess you can say she's our favorite agent). Recently we were having the hardest and most stressful time finding an insurance company for garage liability and sadly we were forced to shop with other agencies. Every company we spoke with said our current agent has clearly gone above and beyond for us and unfortunately couldn't help because Jean already approached the markets they were signed with. A day or two before our expiration date we had a quote with another agency. We sent the quote over to Jean to look over and Jean WENT TO WORK AGAIN and MADE IT HAPPEN!!! We appreciate Jean and the rest of the team at Fearnow and are so happy we can continue to have them on our team!! Thank You! Thank you! THANK YOU!!!!

He's very responsive & knowledgable. Highly recommend using Fearnow & Joe for your personal lines needs.

Joe Boyle was able to help us out very quickly getting new Home and Car insurance after AAA decided to cancel us. Aside from getting this done in a day, it was cheaper as well. All this after we had been waiting for about 2 weeks, twice in a row by other "insurance agents" without as much a quote. Joe really killed it. Don't fear now, call Joe!

Homeowners Insurance Requirements in Florida

The state of Florida does not legally require homeowners to purchase insurance. However, if you have a mortgage, your lender may require it, and even if you’ve paid off your home, you still may want to consider purchasing a good homeowners insurance policy. This is because the average value of a home in Florida is $215,300. Can you afford to replace your home if it were to become uninhabitable due to a covered event, like a fire or strong storm?

Types of Homeowners Insurance Coverages to Consider

A homeowners insurance policy is designed to financially protect you in case of certain unforeseeable events, like fire, theft, vandalism and certain weather events. It’s also designed to help if someone who does not live on your property gets injured, like from a dog bite or slip and fall. Common coverages that homeowners insurance provides include:

A high-quality homeowners insurance policy contains several types of protection, including:

  • Home Replacement Cost – If your home is completely destroyed, this coverage helps pay for a replacement.
  • Home Repair Cost – If your home is damaged via a covered event, this helps provide funds for the repairs.
  • Replacement of Damaged Personal Belongings – If your personal belongings, including clothes, furniture and electronics, are damaged, this helps provide the funds to replace them.
  • Repair and Replacement Costs for External Structures – If you have garages or sheds on your property that are damaged via a covered event, this coverage helps provide the funds to repair or replace them.
  • Personal Liability – If someone who does not live at your property gets injured on your property, this coverage helps pay for expenses related to the accident.
  • Medical Expenses – If someone who does not live on your property gets injured, this helps pay for any needed medical treatments.
  • Additional Living Expenses – If you cannot live in your home after the covered event, this helps pay for additional living expenses while your home is being repaired.

Understanding Whether or Not You Need Flood Insurance

In addition to homeowners insurance, you may want to consider flood insurance. In Tampa alone, more than 43,000 properties are at risk for flooding, according to a news article by the Tampa Bay Times, and if you live in a 100-year floodplain, your mortgage company may require flood insurance. This is because a standard homeowners insurance policy does not cover flooding. If you’re not sure if you live in a flood zone, FEMA provides a map where you can input your address to check your flood risk.

Flood Zone Area Designations

There are five risk zones for Florida, including:

  • Zone X – Low to moderate risk with a .02 percent risk of annual flooding
  • Zone A – High risk with a 1 percent chance of annual flooding
  • Zone AE – High risk with homes being considered in a 100-year floodplain
  • Zone V – Extremely High Risk with at least one flood expected within 30 years
  • Zone VE – Extremely High Risk with at least one flood expected within 30 years

Median Cost of Homeowners Insurance in Florida

One of the primary reasons that homeowners drop their insurance coverage or fail to get it is fear of the cost. The truth is that homeowners insurance is affordable in Florida. The average cost of a yearly premium in the state is $216 per month, and there are ways you can lower the cost of your premiums, including:

  • Choosing a higher deductible
  • Taking advantage of multi-line discounts
  • Consider disaster safety upgrades
  • Consider installing home security
