Our Goal: Make insuring a coastal property simple, affordable, & efficient.
The old way
Homeowners who wanted to insure a coastal property had to piece togethermultiple policies to meet their needs. They often ended up with inadequateflood coverage, multiple deductibles, and frustrating claim experiences.
Why wasn't there a better way?
That's what we wondered too. With advancements in technology, expert agents, and responsible proactive homeowners, it should be possible to provide asingle policy that combines home and full flood coverage.
The ShoreOne way
In 2019, a small team ofinsurance professionalsgot together to solve this frustrating problem. Wedeveloped an all-inclusive coastal insurance policy, built a technology platform forquick accurate quotes, and secured deep financial backing.
