Who's likely to insure me?
Describe what you need insured, where it is, and anything that made it hard (a claim, a non-renewal, an old roof, a new business, a vacant building). The assistant checks which companies are licensed for it in your state, who actually writes it there, which surplus lines insurers take it, what the carriers' published rules say, and the market of last resort — then tells you who is likely to consider it and why.
Standard (admitted) companies first, then surplus lines, then the plan of last resort. It names only companies in the public data, says "likely", never a price, and ends with the free quote request that sends your application to those markets. I'm licensed in 48 states and Washington, DC and your request stays with my agency, not passed to another agent. In Florida and Washington, where my licenses are still being issued, a partner agency in your state helps in the meantime.

The quote request takes a few minutes; it goes to the markets that fit, and the companies answer by email. Hard-to-place risks are the normal day here.
