Dear Members,

The big insurance companies have requested that North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey increase homeowners’ insurance rates by a staggering 25 percent.

This proposed increase impacts you, it impacts your clients and it will be significantly detrimental to an already struggling economy. You can help stop this rate increase but you must act now!
 
Please tell Commissioner Causey to protect North Carolina homeowners and the real estate industry by OPPOSING the proposed rate increase!
