Independent agency · Sarasota, Florida

Why independent matters

We are not one carrier's office.

A captive agent has one company's answer to your renewal. We hold appointments across A-rated carriers, so when a carrier changes its appetite or its rate in Florida, we can move you instead of asking you to accept it. Thirty-five years of that, from an office that has been in Sarasota the whole time.

  • Jewelry Insurance

    Loss, theft and damage on engagement rings, heirlooms and luxury watches, written standalone or as an extension of your home policy.

“I've had property insurance with AutoLife Insurance Group for many years. Marissa proactively contacted me to suggest getting an auto insurance quote. I've been reluctant to the change in the past because I've had the same auto insurer for many years. But, this year, I agreed to getting a comparable quote. I am so glad I did, as the annual savings for comparable coverage was significant. I am highly satisfied!!”

Before you call

The questions this office answers most.

Coverage cannot be bound through a form. Ask here, and a licensed agent confirms anything that actually changes your policy.

Flood is never covered by a standard home policy, and a good share of Florida flood claims come from properties outside the highest-risk zones. What matters is elevation, how close you sit to water and which regional flood zone you fall in. We write both FEMA-backed National Flood Insurance Program policies and private flood, so we can price both and show you the difference side by side.

The master policy generally stops at the structure it names, which leaves the interior of your unit, your belongings and your personal liability sitting in the gap. A condo policy is written to fill exactly that gap: interior dwelling coverage, personal property and liability. We read your association's master policy first so we are covering the gap you actually have.

We are not tied to one carrier, so we compare A-rated carriers and bring you the coverage that fits rather than the one product we are allowed to sell. It also means that when a carrier changes appetite or rate in Florida, we can move you instead of asking you to accept it.

Yes, and it is usually the first thing we check. Bundling auto and home is one of the standard discounts, alongside safe driver and multi-car on the auto side. Because we place both, we can see whether bundling with one carrier actually beats splitting them across two.

No. Insurance coverage cannot be bound or changed by submitting a form on this site. No binder, policy, change, addition or deletion goes into effect unless and until it is confirmed directly by a licensed agent. Send us the request here and a licensed agent will confirm everything with you.

Flood, condo, boat, motorcycle, RV, jewelry, personal umbrella, life and business insurance, plus long-term care and general liability. The office handles a full personal and commercial book, so most households and small businesses can keep everything in one place.

Bring us your current policy and we will read it properly.

Most people who move to AutoLife arrive holding a renewal they were told to accept. Send it over, and we will tell you what it covers, what it leaves open, and whether another A-rated carrier does it better.
