California Insurance

Local California insurance coverage that fits your family & business needs, with a team that knows your name.

Homeowners, wildfire, and earthquake insurance across California

Elye Insurance has helped California families protect their homes since 2010, from our office in Mission Viejo. Few states make home insurance harder to get right. Wildfire exposure drives which carriers will write a home, earthquake and flood both fall outside a standard homeowners policy, and carriers have tightened their rules on location, roof condition, and home age. We shop multiple carriers, explain your options in plain English or Spanish, and review your coverage every year as the market shifts.

California's homeowners market

Carriers underwrite each California home closely. They look at wildfire exposure, brush clearance, roof age and material, and the age of the electrical and plumbing systems. When private carriers say no, the California FAIR Plan serves as the state's insurer of last resort. Because the FAIR Plan is a limited policy, it is usually paired with a companion difference in conditions policy to fill in liability, theft, and water damage. We compare the FAIR Plan against private options and help you move back to the private market when it makes sense. We also cover condos, rental properties, renters, and high-value homes.

Wildfire exposure and home hardening

From the Sierra foothills to the canyons of Southern California, a home's distance from brush and open land shapes both availability and price. Steps such as maintaining defensible space, installing ember-resistant vents, and upgrading to a fire-rated roof can improve your options and may qualify for discounts. We'll walk you through what carriers ask about and make sure every credit you qualify for is on the policy.

Earthquake and flood insurance

Standard homeowners policies exclude both earthquake and flood. Earthquake coverage is written separately, typically with a deductible set as a percentage of the dwelling limit, so we help you weigh deductible against premium. Winter storms can also flood homes well outside high-risk zones, especially near rivers, levees, and recent burn areas. We quote both NFIP and private flood policies. NFIP coverage typically has a 30-day waiting period, so it needs to be in place well before the rainy season.

Auto, farm, and business coverage

We round out your protection with auto, boat, and umbrella coverage. For farmers and business owners, we also write farm insurance and business insurance, from business owners policies to commercial property.

How We Help

We believe in providing top-notch insurance products and services to our clients, and that requires working with the best financial institutions available.

Most people collect insurance one piece at a time: a general liability policy here, an auto policy there, a business policy from someone else. We take a more holistic approach. Because we write a full book of coverage across your entire commercial insurance needs, we can look at the whole picture, see where things overlap or leave gaps, and help it all work together.

For your business life and employees, that means your business operations, your property, your employees, your vehicles, and the umbrella coverage that ties them together, along with specialty needs. For California business property owners, it also means real guidance on earthquake and wildfire exposure, hurricane and flood, and the difficult market many of us are navigating.
