It is nice to see someone looking for Florida homeowners insurance that is actually asking the tough questions about the company's themselves. Many Floridians who have picked their company solely on price could be in for a nasty surprise after the next Florida hurricane.
Some of the things that you should consider about each company including Olympus is the company's size, financial strength, length of time in business, and their customer service - particularly their complaint history.
Look for companies that have surplus cash available to pay their claims of at least $50 million. Try to find a Florida home insurance company that has been around at least since the mid 1990's. There aren't very many but at least those companies have been through the 2004 and 2005 hurricanes and improved their processes. You should also check out their complaint history for the past few years to see how they compare with others in the industry.
Here is place you can check out that I saw in most of the Florida newspapers after the State Farm announcement to find
Florida home insurance. What I liked about this site is that it ranks companies like Olympus against all the other companies you are considering using a relative rating system - so all of the companies that you get
Florida home insurance quotes show up there.
My take on Olympus is that they were one of the more higher rated companies since I last signed on. I hope this is helpful to you. Good luck!
