There are direct writers that write homeowners coverage in some states, like Amica or Hartford. Technically, even when you're talking directly to the company, you are talking to an agent, because all states require people who sell insurance to have an agent's license.

Why do you want to go direct? There isn't usually a cost savings (ie, you don't get a 20% discount for not using "an agent"), and if there's a problem, you don't have anyone else to go to. Also, to get quotes from 5 different companies, you'd have to make five calls, and explain everything 5 times. If you go to an independent agent, you can get a lot more quotes, with a lot less hassle - and some feedback about how each company works their claims process.

You could try this website to get some quotes on homeowner's insurance: http://insurance.divinfo.com
You can call insurance companies directly, rather than dealing with an agent...your car insurance company will most likely give you a discount, but you should shop around for the best quote.

Go ahead and go online and get a policy without an agent. You may be one of those who never has a claim or is happy without an agent. Who knows?

Homeowner insurance can be bought online like most anything else. In your search block, type in "homeowner insurance compare" and see how many come up. You can start with this website: https://www.allquotesinsurance.com/home.cfm?Source=~GGLAF005

That stupid lizard on tv says you can buy auto insurance direct with them and save a ton of money, but I used a real company with an agent instead and they are cheaper and have better service. Here is a directory to find a local agent: http://www.insuremyhouse.com

I'd say, get a list of licenced Insurance providers in your state from the Dept. of Insurance run by your state. Call the companies in that list and get quotes yourself without an agent. Check the companies financial worthiness from AM Best Company. AM Best rates insurance companies.

Caveat Emptor! You need to find an agent/broker so they can determine what is important to you. Going out on your own to find homeowners is a bit foolish.

Would you ever ask for a cheap dentist or heart surgeon? I'm not saying you need to over pay for your insurance, but a good price on homeowners is only worth it if the policy actually has value.

Remember that your home is probably the biggest investment you'll ever make. Don't skimp on the coverage. You may never have a loss, but if you do you may be sorry you opted for cheap instead of solid...

You can absolutely do it without an agent. Your best bet is to get a free comaprison quote so you can compare cost and coverage and make an informed decision. The following site has a great free quote feature

Try the various online sites for quotes. I was cancelled by NY central mutual for 3 claims in10 years out of 25 years of home ownership & poor credit rating. (Northern NY is not an economic meca and winter can challenge even a new home but 2 $1000 claims & $20000 act of god ice storm damage claim is not severe losses ) annd was "redlined" locally. I went to an on line site and had aquote from two national insurance companies whose local agents blew me away but an aggressive long island agent had no problems and a third no name. I wrote a good all perils policy (HO3 + some riders) for $600+ on a 160,000 home using Allstate. Local agent sung a different tune when I showed him his own companies policy when he questioned why I cancelled ny auto & life policies iwth his brokerage. I have not had a claim since I switched so I cant comment on claim service.

Use your car insurance company. They will do the underwriting in such a way that you won't see any added costs.

I have my car insurance with State Farm. When I switched it from Delaware to California and added renters' insurance, my monthly bill was still the same.

An agent can help you buy, they can also help you in a time of need. A phone number or website can not.
Independent agents may be able to show you several different companies, but they will never be able to show you the top rated companies in your state, because those are not offered through independent agents. i.e. State Farm, Allstate, Nationwide, Farmers, Farm Bureau.

Here is a great website to look at the top rated companies in your state.
