Flood Insurance

NFIP or Private Flood —
We Compare Both.

Standard homeowners insurance doesn't cover flood damage — it's always a separate policy. For coastal Georgia homes, that policy usually comes from one of two places.

Government-Backed

NFIP Flood Insurance

The National Flood Insurance Program is administered through FEMA and offered nationwide through participating carriers. It's the most familiar option, and it's often required by mortgage lenders for homes in a high-risk flood zone (a Special Flood Hazard Area).

  • ✓ Coverage up to $250,000 for the building and $100,000 for contents on a single-family home
  • ✓ Standardized rates and policy terms nationwide
  • ✓ Typically a 30-day waiting period before coverage takes effect
  • ✓ Usually satisfies mortgage lender flood requirements
Private Market

Private Flood Insurance

Written by private carriers outside the NFIP — including specialty and wholesale markets we work with directly. Private flood can be a strong option when you want higher limits or broader protection than the NFIP provides.

  • ✓ Coverage limits above NFIP's caps, including higher-value homes
  • ✓ Can include protections NFIP doesn't, like additional living expenses
  • ✓ Sometimes more competitively priced, depending on your flood zone and home
  • ✓ Can often be bound faster, without NFIP's standard waiting period
How We Help

One agent, both markets.

Flood insurance isn't one-size-fits-all, and the right answer depends on your specific home and flood zone. As an independent agent, we're not limited to selling you just NFIP or just one private carrier — and flood is only part of insuring a coastal home.

We compare NFIP and private quotes side by side — so you can see the coverage and the price of each before deciding.

We check your flood zone as part of putting together your quote, so you know whether flood coverage is required or optional for your property.

We have access to specialty and wholesale flood markets — carriers most homeowners can't reach directly — for coastal properties that need more than a standard policy offers.

We also work with specialty home insurance carriers for the rest of your coastal property — not just flood. Standard homeowners carriers can be hesitant to write policies close to the coast, so we place the underlying dwelling policy with carriers built for coastal risk when a standard carrier won't.

We handle the mortgage escrow and lender requirements so your flood coverage lines up with what your lender actually needs.

Questions

Coastal Flood Insurance, Answered

If your home has a federally backed mortgage and sits in a Special Flood Hazard Area (a high-risk flood zone as mapped by FEMA), your lender will require flood insurance. Even outside a mapped high-risk zone, homes along the Georgia coast can still flood — which is why many homeowners choose to carry coverage voluntarily.
NFIP is the federal program administered through FEMA, with standardized coverage up to $250,000 for the building and $100,000 for contents on a single-family home. Private flood insurance is written by carriers outside the NFIP — it can offer higher limits, broader protection like additional living expenses, and is sometimes more competitively priced. We compare both to see which fits your home better.
No. Standard homeowners insurance excludes flood damage. Flood coverage has to be purchased separately, either through the NFIP or a private flood carrier.
We can help you look up your home's FEMA flood zone designation as part of putting together your quote. Being outside a high-risk zone doesn't mean zero flood risk — it just affects whether coverage is required versus optional.
It depends on your flood zone, the home's elevation, construction, and the coverage limits you choose. Because NFIP and private markets price risk differently, we compare both to find the better rate for your specific property — get a free quote and we'll walk you through it.
