The Southwest Florida area has not gone without insurance growing pains. A few years ago, after a succession of storms, big insurance dumped us.
Almost every one of us lost our insurance; cancelled on the spot. Shamefully, our state government allowed it to happen. Our local insurance brokers were faced with telling customers they have had for years that they couldn't write policies in certain areas, usually by zip code.
One of my favorite insurance brokers, Ridge Jones was unable to write my homeowner's policy after I was cancelled. I ended up on the state run "Citizen's" insurance through a different broker. My policy just came up for renewal and I decided to call Ridge and give it another shot. Lo and behold he has authorization to write policies again in most areas.
Why does this make a difference to me? Why does this make a difference to you, as a Bonita Springs Home Owner? Ridge has a boutique insurance company called Jones & Jones. When you call the office you'll likely have it answered by one of two people, and one of those people is Ridge himself. It's the same greeting procedure when you walk thru the door at Jones & Jones. From phone call to signing the policy was only as fast as I could drive over the Imperial River Bridge and hang a right to his office. THAT is service.
It is always my pleasure to refer great resources like this to anyone needing the service. If you need insurance and you'd like to do business with someone that runs a personal, hands on business and cares about their job you need to call Ridge at Jones & Jones Insurance.
Jones & Jones is located on Bonita Beach Road in Bonita Springs, Florida right across the street from the Safari Golf.

Chris, it's such a shame that we have no universal insurance plan to deal with natural disasters. We know they are going to occur over and over in specific areas of the country. If insurance companies are willing to take premiums in the quiet years, they shouldn't be allowed to drop their customers like that.
