Michigan Insurance Broker/ Company Recommendations for Landlord Policy

Posted Feb 16 2023, 09:19

I'm in Kalamazoo county, and my landlord policy is up for renewal.  I'm curious who others use in the area.  I have been happy with Allstate thus far, but I'm always looking to maximize my return.  

Any insurance brokers you'd recommended?  

A specific company you use you're happy with?  

A specific company to avoid?

I currently carry most of our personal insurance, including our owner occupied duplex home owners insurance and our umbrella policy, through AAA w/ our Landlord policy on a second duplex through Allstate.  

Thanks in advance for your input!

Thanks @John Mocker & @Cameron Moore for the mention.

@Sara K Chilcote there are several insurance carriers who are still in the market for a single duplex.  We would be happy to help.

@Sara K Chilcote typically, an insurance broker will have more options for you.

Google Simplified Insurance in Southfield and Noel Selewski in Eastpointe.
