Product of the Month. . .
Yep, we’re still writing mobile homes. Maybe we don’t mention it enough but we want to assure you that our mobile home market is alive and well! In fact, we have several tiers to place your risk so you’re sure to find one that fits perfectly. Best of all, its online and gives you the power to issue policies on the spot. You need only ask a few simple questions and the rate will be in your hands within seconds. Statewide has been writing mobile homes with ‘A’ rated carriers for many years. We have one of the most competitive and easy-to-use systems you’ll ever use. We can write the rentals all the way up to the monsters in a lighted, gated park. We can even get coverage for those mobile homes that are outside of a park in the general home population. Direct bill, no money down and payment plans to suit any budget, make Statewide your obvious choice when it comes to mobile home coverage. Need a password for our quoting/issuing system? No problem! Just give Kyle Hammontree (602-494-6940) a call and he set you up in a jiffy. (Arizona Only)
There’s one profession in the southwest that is always in demand, A/C and Heating Repair and Installation. These businesses are plentiful out there and thank goodness, right? Who needs to try and survive 115 degrees unless they have to? With that, keep in mind that Statewide not only has companies willing to write this class, but we’ve also made it easy for you by putting it in our Rapid Rater system. In fact, do this: Go to our website, www.statewide-insurance.com , click on the Rapid Rater logo, then click the Artisan & Small Contractors button. Now, see that red balloon at the top of the page? Click it! See? Just answer those 11 simple questions and you’ll have a nifty comparison of all our companies writing AC & Heating Repair. It’s that simple! It also works for other Artisan classes, too. Give it a try and see how fast you can get an estimated premium. Once you try it, you’ll be hooked forever. Need a smiling underwriter to help you through it all the first couple of times? No problem! Call any one of our commercial underwriters and they’ll be happy to assist. It’s the most-used item at Statewide. Try it one time and you’ll see why. (All States)
I’m not a complete idiot.
Some parts are missing.
Some of you don’t subscribe to the ACORD â application system. Some of you just don’t like filling them out because it’s too much work. Either way, we have an alternative for you. If you’re trying to submit a risk to us but don’t have access to an ACORD â app, go to our website and click on ‘Applications’. We have taken the initiative to put together our OWN applications, asking the questions we feel are most important. Not only are these apps shorter and easier to navigate, they get right to the heart of the matter. You can get GL, Property and Specialty Apps at the click of a button. How’s THAT for service? At Statewide, we try to make things easier for you. If you see how easy this path is, you’ll be more likely to use it. No more tiny print or making sure you completed all the right sections. With our Statewide apps, you’re sure to have the right information every time. Don’t forget, you can get our supplemental apps off of our website, too. Go ahead and give it a try! (All States)
