Foremost Insurance Expands Dwelling Fire Program in Virginia

GRAND RAPIDS , Michigan – Foremost Insurance Group is pleased to announce the expansion of its Dwelling Fire program in Virginia. Foremost now accepts more landlord and rental property customers, and offers lower rates and new, larger discounts.

Typically known as the solution for hard-to-place landlord and owner-occupied properties, Foremost is now enhancing its program to include standard and preferred business.

With Foremost’s broadened underwriting, the company now accepts:

  • Homes with open foundations
  • Customers who have had a lapse in coverage
  • Customers with up to five losses

“We've improved our competitive position in the market, so we're not just limited to non-standard business anymore,” says Jerry Payne, Foremost zone executive director. “We've also provided numerous discounts in the new program because they're strong attractors for new customers, who may take advantage of the money-saving opportunities, and an excellent retention tool for agents.”

Some of the discounts offered include: 

  • The Superior Financial Responsibility discount for owner-occupied customers is now 25%.
  • Homes up to seven years old can qualify for an Age-of-Home discount, up to 25%.
  • Owners with another Foremost, Farmers®, Bristol West® or Zurich® policy may qualify for a multi-policy discount.
