(Translated by Google) Due to a misunderstanding regarding the addition of a “Flood” endorsement to our homeowners insurance policy, our policy with Citizens was canceled on very short notice. This was an extremely stressful situation for me, as even a brief gap in insurance coverage makes it very difficult to obtain homeowners insurance in Florida.
In this situation, I contacted GreatFlorida Insurance, which had been highly recommended by other clients. Only a few hours later, I was contacted by Ms. Denise Columbus, who was friendly, calm, and highly professional from the very first moment.
From the start, I felt that I was in good hands. Ms. Columbus explained everything clearly and transparently, took the time to answer my questions, and carefully guided me through the process. She explained exactly which documents were needed in order to find the best possible insurance solution for my situation. After I submitted the required information, she quickly got back to me with a suitable and very reasonably priced homeowners insurance policy—significantly more affordable than my previous policy with Citizens.
I felt truly relieved and grateful that I had contacted this particular agency. Ms. Columbus stands out not only for her strong expertise and professional knowledge, but also for her personal commitment, responsiveness, and genuine willingness to help her clients.
I can wholeheartedly recommend GreatFlorida Insurance, and especially Ms. Denise Columbus, without reservation.
Dear Denise, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prompt, knowledgeable, and straightforward assistance. You took a great burden off my shoulders during a very stressful time.

Durch ein Missverständnis bei der Ergänzung unseres Hausversicherungsvertrages um den Zusatz „Flood“ wurde unsere Versicherung bei Citizens kurzfristig gekündigt. Für mich war das eine sehr belastende Situation, da es in Florida bereits bei einer nur sehr kurzen Unterbrechung im Versicherungsverlauf äußerst schwierig ist, eine neue Hausversicherung zu finden.
In dieser Sorge wandte ich mich an die Agentur GreatFlorida Insurance, die mir aufgrund ihrer sehr guten Bewertungen empfohlen wurde. Schon wenige Stunden später meldete sich Frau Denise Columbus bei mir – freundlich, ruhig und sehr professionell.
Von Beginn an hatte ich das Gefühl, in guten Händen zu sein. Frau Columbus erklärte mir alles verständlich und transparent, nahm sich Zeit für meine Fragen und sagte mir genau, welche Unterlagen sie benötigte, um die bestmögliche Lösung für mich zu finden. Nach Einreichung der Unterlagen meldete sie sich zeitnah mit einer passenden und zudem überraschend günstigen Hausversicherung – deutlich günstiger als meine vorherige Versicherung bei Citizens.
Ich war sehr erleichtert und dankbar, dass ich mich an genau diese Agentur gewandt habe. Frau Columbus überzeugt nicht nur durch ihre große Fach- und Sachkenntnis, sondern auch durch ihr persönliches Engagement, ihre schnelle Arbeitsweise und ihre echte Bereitschaft, sich für ihre Kunden einzusetzen.
Ich kann GreatFlorida Insurance und insbesondere Frau Denise Columbus aus voller Überzeugung weiterempfehlen.
Liebe Denise, ich danke Ihnen von Herzen für Ihre schnelle, kompetente und unkomplizierte Hilfe. Sie haben mir in einer sehr angespannten Situation eine große Sorge abgenommen.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I was referred to Erin by a friend after having purchased a second vehicle and WOW. I am now paying in a year what I would have paid for 6 months through another agent AND I have more coverage benefits!! I cannot recommend Erin enough. THANK YOU, ERIN!!

I give Denise Columbus a million and one stars for her rating. Denise went out of her way to be patient and understanding when dealing with an elderly widowed woman. She explained everything in clear and precise words, knowing my late husband took care of these kind of things. She took the time to explain everything in great detail, in a calm professional manor. So friendly and warm, I was very pleased with my experience. I will recommend this insurance agency to everyone I can.

I have never had a broker call me saying “ I have shopped your policy and I can save you money” - that is what Leela said! At a time when it was a huge help. Thank you Leela!
