Switching is Painless

The #1 reason people stay with expensive carriers? They think switching is hard. It's not.

The Old Way

Call your old company, wait on hold, fill out forms, notify your lender, coordinate dates... exhausting.

The Bill Layne Way

We handle the break-up. We cancel your old policy, notify your mortgage lender, and set up your new plan. You just sign on your phone.

Hi, I'm Bill.

When you call the 1-800 numbers, you get a call center in a different state. When you call us, you get me or my team right here in Elkin.

And the best part? We usually find better rates than the 1-800 numbers because we check multiple companies at once.
