Optional next step
Want a licensed broker to help?
This is optional, and for a lot of people the do-it-yourself path below is the better one. If you'd rather have someone do the legwork, here's exactly what happens, who pays whom, and where your details go — said plainly, not buried.
First — could you just do it yourself?
Often, yes. The shortest version:
- Try the standard market first. Get quotes from at least three admitted carriers (an independent agent can run several at once). A FAIR Plan or surplus-lines policy should be the fallback, not the first stop.
- If you're declined, go to your state's FAIR Plan (if it has one) through any broker registered to submit it — most independent agents are. Your state page links the official plan and the broker-finder.
- If there's no FAIR Plan, a surplus-lines (E&S) broker can place coverage with non-admitted carriers. Ask specifically for that.
- Don't let coverage lapse — a gap triggers force-placed insurance from your lender, which is more expensive and worse.
The full playbooks: non-renewal notice · buying in a risky area · premium jumped.
Or — we'll connect you
What happens if you submit this:
- We share the details you give us — your name, email, state, and situation — with one or more licensed insurance brokers licensed in your state, and we may share them with partners, so someone can contact you about your options.
- They contact you — by email, or by phone or text only if you give us a number and tick the box that says a call is fine.
- We may add your email to our mailing list and use it — or let partners use it — to send you related offers. Every message has an unsubscribe link.
- We may be paid a referral fee by a broker. You are never charged anything for this, and it doesn't change your price.
- You can opt out anytime — unsubscribe from any email, or email [email protected]. Full detail and opt-outs: Privacy Policy.
Still Insurable is not an insurer, broker, or agent and does not give insurance advice. We may receive a referral fee from a broker we connect you with; this does not change your price and you are under no obligation. Brokers are independently licensed; their advice is their own. Submitting this form is a request to be contacted, not an application for insurance — it is not an insurance application or a quote. The information you submit may be shared with one or more licensed brokers and with partners, and your email may be added to a mailing list we may use for our own or partners' offerings; you can opt out anytime — see the Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
