“I am thankful for how the ease of doing business with Poulton has increased over the years since I began offering your policies. I have seen a remarkable increase in the quality of communication, the timeliness of responses to inquires, and what seems like an improvement in problem-solving and coming up with solutions that benefit our clients first whenever it's possible. I want to thank you all as a team for working hard to improve our office's experience with you. Our clients have no idea about all the things that we have to do behind closed doors to make things easy for them. When we have such a load to handle to make that happen, the trust in and dependence we have on our business partners is really a big deal.
So once again, thank you for your work in working with us to serve your clients well.”

WHY CHOOSE AN NCIP FLOOD INSURANCE POLICY
For many years, Americans had just one choice when it came to flood insurance: the government’s nationalized flood insurance program known as the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Now you can get access to broader coverage at a lower price from the Natural Catastrophe Insurance Program (NCIP) at CATcoverage.com.
Most floods are over before property owners can prepare for them and most homeowners insurance doesn’t cover flooding.
The maximum limit of homeowners flood insurance available from the government is $250K and more than two properties or two acres of land must be inundated for the government to recognize an event as covered.
A small monthly payment now could save your client tens of thousands of dollars in the event of a flood.
