There are so many variables to consider when choosing homeowners insurance. As a homeowner in California, you are likely familiar with the unfortunate reality of wildfires. Our agency is here to ensure that you receive adequate coverage so that you are properly prepared.
With continued drought conditions, it's expected that wildfire danger will be HIGH again, which is leading many insurance carriers to closely review providing coverage. In some situations, carriers are non-renewing policies. We at The Parker Insurance Agency have our pulse on the insurance marketplace and can assist homeowners by providing coverage options to make sure that their house is continually insured.
If all else fails and Farmers or our insurance partners are unable to provide coverage, the California FAIR Plan is another option. This program is required to provide insurance in the event that the private insurance market is unavailable to provide coverage. CFP is a government-sponsored insurance market of last resort.
Should you have any questions about Homeowners' coverage, please don't hesitate to reach out, or schedule a meeting with us via the link below!

A homeowner's policy doesn't quite cut in when dealing with earthquakes. It's important that you get optional coverage in order to cover expenses such as:
- Making structural repairs
- Rebuilding your house
- Paying for temporary housing
- Replacing personal property
The cost of earthquake coverage varies significantly — it all depends on your area’s level of risk. Premiums can be relatively inexpensive if you live where earthquakes are rare, and relatively expensive where they happen more frequently.
Please feel free to click the link below to check out the California Earthquake Authority website, as they are a partner with Farmers to provide Earthquake coverage for our clients!
