6. Case in Point… “I would like to share an experience I had this past week. I presented a flood renewal to an Association in the 33708 zip code that renews in June. I was questioning the premium as it was not seeing the increase like others……I called the company to review and as of May 1….the CRS credit is changing for this territory… From April 30 to May 1……there was an $600 dollar difference for this one building! So, hat’s off for the excellent job ……it’s making a difference in our community! “ -Kim Harr (Harr & Associates) “I would like to share an experience I had this past week.
