Shopping for Insurance Policies

[Brad Gibson]

Any advice on shopping for an insurance agent or insurance policy as a landlord?  I have been using the same agency who seem to be placing me in higher and higher premiums.  

They offer good service and are very responsive, but they once were finding companies that would be the least expensive rates.  Now it seems, I'm paying a $200 to $400 more per year for a policy with them for similar homes that I purchase.

Just curious about processes other than just phoning everyone in the area for finding a great insurance agent that is willing to work with an investor and find the best possible rates.
