Hello BP,
I am getting ready to close on an investment property in Brooklyn (Bushwick) soon. I am looking for recommendations on insurance companies offering great rates and service with reasonable premiums. Also, let me know if you've had history and good experiences with the particular company. Thank you.

@Daniel C. - @Anthony Perna is probably your best option for this, based on what I've read - but if you want to compare what he can do versus other markets, I'd be happy to help as well. Again, your best option is to check with Anthony first, as he's more local and probably has better markets for the area.

I first used Allstate because they were cheap. They were not always responsive. I switched to State Farm. They dropped me when I had a sewage backup. I was forced to use NYS property insurance. I can switch now but I like the service so I am keeping it.

Hi Daniel,
I'm an independent insurance agent in the Greater NYC area. Our agency specializes in property insurance and represents about 40 insurance carriers who can write this type of coverage.
Let me know if you'd like to touch base an discuss further what we can offer.

I used a broker who got my insurance for all of my properties in Brooklyn, I've ended up with a company called Travelers home insurance for most of my homes. Inbox me and I will pass on my brokers details. I've had good experience with them so far. Google them
