There is a reason I have been with the Insurance Center of Patrick almost my entire adult life. My parents actually had insurance with them but I thought I could save a buck by making a deal with a lizard. Well the first claim I had it turned out he was a snake in the grass. I immediately switched back. The Insurance Center bundled my insurance when I bought a home and saved me a ton of money. They have the best customer service and truly care about you. Or you could get bit by a snake pretending to me a lizard!
