"California Flood Insurance came through for me in a big way"
"In 2017 when I purchased my home, I found out that it was in a flood zone (although it really isn't) and to get a loan, I had to get flood insurance"
"I was searching for low-cost flood insurance and came across California Flood online"
"My original insurance agent lapsed on my flood insurance policy, then said the price trippled"
"I'm delighted to share our positive experience with this company and most especially Craig Yost for the lightening fast placement of our flood policy"
California Flood Insurance came through for me in a big way. I was in the process of closing a commercial loan when the lender dropped a bomb on me literally hours before signing closing docs. They informed me that my property was in a flood zone and that I needed to obtain flood insurance or my loan would not fund. They new this months before and overlooked it until the day I was to sign the closing docs. I tried my insurance and no go, they didn't offer flood coverage as most do not. I then contacted a broker who quoted me $15,000 for coverage which was significantly less than government "affordable" insurance for $25,000. I then found out about California Flood Insurance on the web and contacted their office. I worked with Krista Zilke who was awesome, she listened to me and got to work immediately and was able to get me a quote for $7,400 WOW. All this just before the 4th of July weekend. Krista also worked directly with the lender to get the insurance approved by them so I could move forward with the loan. Thank you!! California Flood Insurance, I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get affordable flood coverage.
In 2017 when I purchased my home, I found out that it was in a flood zone (although it really isn't) and to get a loan, I had to get flood insurance. At the time, the cheapest premium I could find was roughly $1800/year. Every year, it kept creeping up and this year, I got a bill for $2100! I had been receiving ads in the mail about how I could be paying less for flood insurance so I finally decided to shop around. Krista Z. from California Flood Insurance contacted me to get some additional information (after I filled out their online form) and wrote up a policy that would cost me $760 (plus a one-time $300 fee that will not be charged after this year). That's a savings of over $1300! Krista made the process very easy and even went above and beyond by looking up information that I was uncertain about. The only thing I had to do was to call a mortgage agent from my lending company and have them provide my mortgagee clause to California Flood Insurance. I was worried that this was too good to be true, but it was all legit. I'm a very happy customer.
I was searching for low-cost flood insurance and came across California Flood online. Since I live in California and there are usually special requirements, I figured it was a good idea to use a broker based in California. I spoke to Craig Yost who went over everything very carefully, making me feel comfortable in making a switch to a private insurer instead of continuing with FEMA/NFIP. The goal was to save money and Craig hooked me up with Lloyd's Bank at half the cost I'd been paying for the same coverage. There was a one-time Management fee of $300, but next year and after when that fee is no longer collected, I'll be paying about half what I was before. I was not sure my mortgage lender (Finance America) would accept a private insurer, but there was no problem. Quick and hassle free. Thanks Craig!
My original insurance agent lapsed on my flood insurance policy, then said the price trippled. I was in shock since everything is on auto pay and in this case, my lender had sent the funds through my escrow account. Long story short, Cali did a way better job. I was not in a flood way but a 100 year flood plain. We had just built and had to meet all the new requirements. We sent the documentation to Cali Flood and got it handled with our documentation from the survey company. Price was right on and will use them over and over, other agent didn't do her homework or ask questions and wanted us to pay 3x the rate. Ps, Question your agent and talk through your homes location, there is a big difference in premium depending truly on your homes footprint...
I'm delighted to share our positive experience with this company and most especially Craig Yost for the lightening fast placement of our flood policy. We received a competitive quote and (foolishly) I continued to shop around which was nothing but a waste of time. When I came back at the last minute, hoping Craig would still honor the quote, I was blown away how quickly he was able to turn it around. Done! Pleasant and polite, but not pushy check-ins along the way, hoping to write the policy, stuck with me. If you want prompt, courteous, efficient, and realistic quotes and turnarounds, contact Craig! Gratefully, Robin
I was looking for more affordable flood ins since I had FEMA and my premium rose to over $3400. I had spoken to several ins agents,but I was not impressed with their prices or their attitude. I then spoke with Craig Yost at California Flood Insurance. I was immediately drawn to his professional knowledge of flood ins, the benefits were better, the prices were great. Craig understood my insurance needs and I knew that this was the insurance company I wanted to do business with. Craig handled my insurance needs in a timely manner. I look forward to many years being a happy customer with California Flood Insurance.
Arthur Jordan @ California Flood Service is the best. I sell FEMA policies through Nat'l Flood Service and sometimes pricing is prohibitive. When that is the case I tell me clients to call Arthur. He is friendly, professional, quick, and knowledgeable; and every time the price is right. His communication is the best and he is so easy to work with. Yes, I lose the chance to sell a flood policy, myself; but my relationship with my client is better because they know that i did what was in their best interest, not mine. I am never sorry to have Arthur take care of my clients.
Amazing help with my Flood Insurance. My Flood Ins bill went from $800.00 a year to $6,244.04 - true story. I was shocked and went looking for help. Craig Yost got back to me straight away and in the same day!, He's super knowledgeable and helped me get new Flood insurance for less than the $800.00 I had been paying. My other agent said if could only get it for over $2,000.00. I was able to cancel my other policy and go with California Flood Insurance Services. It was a great relief and I'm very happy with all the help and kindness Craig gave me. He is much appreciated!!
I did some serious comparison shopping for flood insurance. Every other quote was significantly higher than California Flood Insurance, one quote was 4.6 times higher! So I love the price. We corresponded with our agent Craig for over a week between the time of the initial contact and signing the paperwork, and he replied promptly EVERY time. Our policy is covered by Lloyds of London, the biggest name in the business. I am so happy with our experience that I gave Craig's information to our realtor so she can recommend him to all her clients needing flood insurance.
California Flood Insurance Services is the BEST flood insurance provider. A HUGE THANK YOU TO CRAIG YOST, AGENT, for all his help and SUPERB, FAST replies! He made the transaction smooth and easy. This company has absolutely the most supreme premiums compared to the other companies shown on the FEMA website. Those companies were submitting quotes over $2k. California Flood Insurance Services, a little over $800. YES! This company meets ALL the requirements needed for lenders and escrow to close. THANK YOU, again, Craig Yost! YOU ARE FABULOUS!
Called in on a Sunday for a quote... was called back the next morning by Craig who made this the easiest decision we have ever made. Dropped our rate from 15k per year to 2.8k per year. To beat all, when the bank started to push back on us because they were the ones that recommended the other company, Craig stepped in and spoke to them directly quoting the the regulations and coverages for the state where we reside. The only thing I had to do was ask for the quote and sign the check. This was by far the easiest decision I have ever made.
Such a streamlined, easy process! Submitted a request for a quote online, and received a quote quickly through email. Our mortgage company required flood insurance, and my main insurance company insisted that I needed to get an elevation certificate for our new house prior to them issuing flood insurance. California Flood Insurance, insured us without the elevation certificate, and the cost is lower than the previous owner was paying. Krista at California Flood was great to work with. She made the process, fast and easy!
I purchased flood insurance for my home through this company The agent I spoke with, Krista, was very helpful and quick to answer any questions I had. The quote came within a few days of our application and the policy was written the same day we decided to go with it. I think the real test would come if we were to have a flood and need to put in a claim (and I hope I never find out). But, I was very happy with Krista the process of getting the policy in place.
We contacted California Flood Insurance in hopes of getting a cheaper flood insurance policy. We were in contact with Chandra Taft and she hit it out of the park, she provided us with a policy that was going to save us a considerable amount of money. Chandra kept in contact with us through out the whole process. I like to thank Chandra Taft for all her help and would definitely recommend her and California Flood Insurance for all your insurance needs. ANDY
California Flood Insurance hiked my flood insurance rate up over $200 out of nowhere for the coming year. I inquired about getting me a lower rate & they blamed me for not contacting them before my policy renewed the week prior. I told them since they couldnt help me lower my rate, then I'd be going with a different company that could. Their reply? "OK, no problem. Have a great day" I could hear the "I don't care" sarcasm oozing over the email...
I am in MA. I got flood insurance estimate from other insurance company in MA for over $2k for a new house I was buying. It did almost kill my mortgages. Thank God, Krista Zilke from California Flood Insurance company got in and offered me super low premium ($400) with almost same service which satisfied my lender completely! Got my house closed yesterday. This is a great flood insurance that you may want to check out. Highly recommended!
Great Company... Highly recommended! Krista Zilke saved the day on your recent escrow when we needed flood insurance. We were delayed on our closing due to the HOA not providing sufficient coverage. Called Krista and she jumped on this ASAP. And got our policy back to us the same day! Can't get any better service then that! Will definitely use again if needed and refer all other clients to her. Thank You Krista!
I needed flood insurance for a new home purchase. With ridiculously high premiums offered by FEMA I looked elsewhere for coverage. The premium for coverage through Cal Flood cost about 1/6 of FEMA coverage and was acceptable to my lender. The agent with whom I worked - Craig - was helpful and knowledgeable, following up on my inquiries and very diligent about keeping in touch during the pendency of our escrow.
After the cost of our flood insurance increased by over 56% in one year, I knew it was time for a change. I contacted Krista Zilke who gave me a quote the same day. My California Flood Insurance policy is 1/3 of the cost of my old policy and Krista was great to work with. She made the process very simple and answered all of my questions. I wish I had known about California Flood Insurance sooner!
I called in to ask why i am way over covered and the girl i talked to tried telling me thats what i asked for lol 300,000 dollar flood on a 50000 house i was told to email a request for lowered coverage but dont count on it it is sealed in stone from provider. That girl at california flood was nasty no reply to anything i have done to try to fix this like a really bad customer service program
I was looking for affordable flood insurance at the last moment and I found the number through my realtor. I live in Illinois and I am so glad I found this company which saves me a lot of money I talked to Brian Pugh and he was a wonderful person he helped me and gave me a quote in half hr. Even though with the time zone difference he helped me. Brian, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP
I am absolutely Happy to have found California Flood Insurance at the time I needed them. I thought buying Flood insurance was going to be very difficult since nobody new how to help or what the real cost was but Krista quickly answered all of our questions and got us such an amazing rate that other insurance companies could not I cannot stress how easy this process was.
I couldn't figure out why my flood insurance was higher than the average for my area (even my insurance broker said the one we currently had was too high and he had no idea why). California Flood Insurance was the only one that gave me a rate that made sense for my location. I worked with Craig and he was wonderful and responded to my emails so quickly. Thank you CFI!
My wife and I are Insurance General Agents specializing in Life Insurance. When purchasing Flood Insurance for our home, we searched for an agency whose agents were knowledgeable in the coverage we needed. Craig Yost was that agent. His knowledge of FLOOD Insurance policies and his understanding of our needs were excellent. Thank you Craig.
I was looking to buy flood insurance and kept getting directed to FEMA flood insurance. I found a few other companies but Krista from California Flood Insurance took the time to talk to me and make me feel comfortable with my purchase.I read their review’s and I was impressed. The policy was much cheaper than FEMA for even better coverage.
Krista Zilke was the agent that helped me to purchase flood insurance. She was quick to respond with a quote and was very pleasant to do business with. She also helped me to accomplish the transaction digitally. I'm not very computer savvy, so I was very grateful for that. With her help, everything went went through quickly and easily.
In the process of refinancing my house I was made aware I needed to get flood insurance. As I was in a hurry to get this done as it was holding up my loan I contacted several companies. Craig Yost immediately came to my aid and secured a policy in a timely manner. Due to his diligence it did not cause a delay in my loan.
The team at California Flood Insurance worked tirelessly to help me sort out flood insurance in a very short timeline. Arthur Jordan was very responsive in providing timely updates, answering any questions and went above and beyond in helping me secure flood insurance at a great rate. A big thanks to the entire team!
We had some difficulties during a lender switch for our home load which resulted in a lapse of flood coverage. Chandra Taft helped me greatly to sift through the complicated chain of events to allow me to find the culprit (JP Morgan Chase) and work on resolving the issue. Very responsive, friendly and professional!
Chandra was very efficient in providing me a quote. She followed up with the lender and with the escrow company and insured that we had the Flood Insurance Certificates that we needed to close escrow. I highly recommend this company to anybody looking for Flood Insurance. Their pricing was also very reasonable.
I was comparison shopping for a non NFIP flood policy and Craig Yost was informative, responsive, and most competitive. While I ultimately went with my broker of long standing, I did so because they came way down. If I didn't have that relationship, Craig would have my business and may well deserve yours.
Very helpful and responsive to all of our questions about flood insurance and the premium is very very competitive - quite simply, we saved a lot of money from what we were previously paying. Highly recommend Arthur Jordan! Was impressed with him and will recommend every one to request a quote from them.
Craig Yost with California Flood Insurance is the best. He responded quickly to my request for a flood insurance quote, and followed up to make sure I received it ok. The value was good and along with his excellent customer service I decided they were the company I wanted to have my insurance through.
I was very happy to find California Flood Insurance, we were getting some heart stopping quotes from other insurance agencies, and then we found these guys. The quote they gave us was affordable and they were efficient and professional to work with, I highly recommend them if you need flood insurance.
Incredibly helpful in getting my gov-required flood insurance covered. I had a few issues with my previous provider and Kristina at Calif. Flood Insurance was super helpful and flexible with lots of challenges due to having to exit from my other expensive provider. I highly recommend them!
We were very pleased with the service we received from California Flood Insurance (CFI). Never purchasing flood insurance before CFI made it easy to understand and even sent all the necessary information to our lender. The staff we worked with couldn't have been nicer or more helpful.
California flood insurance, Absolutely the best company for flood insurance. We worked with Craig Yost California flood insurance and he saved us a lot of money and work quickly to notify our mortgage company of our insurance. We checked around and they definitely were the best!
After our flood insurance premium increased a whopping 275% over last year, I found California Flood Insurance online, answered a few questions, and Krista Zilke responded within 24 hours with better insurance for half the price. Thank you Krista and California Flood Insurance!
I got the number from my neighbor for California Flood Insurance and recommended that I contact them. I made a call and agent Krista Zilke responded very quick with a quote for everything I had requested. I would highly recommend giving them a call if you need flood insurance.
After getting an outrageous quote thru FEMA and a decline on private flood insurance, I was able to get a reasonable flood quote with 'Cal Flood' and save my client thousands of dollars. Arthur Jordan was very communicative during the process which was very streamlined.
They want $100 arbitrary fee for a "new policy" for my mother since my father died. Charging $100 for the same house and calling it a "risk management fee" for a retired widow. Shame on them. Updated from 1 to 3 stars: The manager did call me, and they waived the fee.
I called and got taken care of by Craig, he was super friendly and got a quote emailed to me. The whole process was easy from start to finish and in a few minutes Craig had my policy done. I would highly recommend you talk to California Flood Insurance first.
California Flood Insurance provided the best value and customer service of all providers I reached out to. Krista is wonderful to work with--very understanding, attentive and responsive to her clients' needs. She has a great attitude. I highly recommend them.
Chandra Taft is an amazing professional. She was there for us every step of the way from beginning to getting our flood policy in place. Great service and a great value is what you get when you work with Chandra and California Flood Insurance.
I was pleasantly surprised at how knowledgeable the staff was and at how quickly they were able to get my flood policy in place. I must have reached out to at least ten brokers, and California Flood Insurance was by far the best to work with.
Bait and switch company - Last year(2022) flood insurance was $639 for the year- this year they want $7,400- no claims at all on this policy or ever on the property. Looks like they changed underwriters- BEWARE if you leave FEMA for them .
Flood Insurance was holding up closing on my new home big time. I got a quick response out on Mr. Yost and he got in touch with my mortgage company and had me going in one afternoon. Saved hundreds with California Flood Insurance. Other
Working with Craig and his company was fantastic! I thank him for his followup with me over the past year and I finally have a much better policy with this company rather than my lender! Thank you Craig for being so diligent. Joy L. CA
This company is so much more affordable! I reduced my flood insurance by almost $800.00 per year. Krista was very helpful and was great at answering my questions and sending documents for my escrow account! She deserves a 10!
Great team! Wonderful staff. Very fast. No problems at all. Will walk you through page for page. I’ve recommended to all my family and friends. When you call ask for Krista Zilke. Very professional and she gets the job done!!
We received exceptional service provided by Krista Zilke. We were under a time crunch due to a change in the FEMA map and Krista made it happen. She was prompt in returning our phone calls and our emails. Thank you Krista.
So far the communication is great and fast and the price was reasonable too. Hopefully I don't have to test out how responsive they are if I have a flood. They came recommended from my homeowners insurance company.
Flood Insurance can be difficult. This company, and the agent, Krista Zilke, made the process smooth and I am very happy. She saved me a bunch of money as well. Thank you California Flood Insurance and Krista!
After getting some outrageous quotes for flood insurance, Chandra Taft took great care of me. Rates were 1/3 of my next best quote, and Chandra was quick to respond to any questions I had. Very impressive!!!
I would highly recommend California flood insurance I received an amazing rate and had my policy establish within only one hour. I have never had such an inexpensive plan. Ever !!!. I’m a customer for life
Arthur Jordan at Cal Flood was easy to work with and I ended up saving money on my flood insurance. What more could you ask for? I would strongly recommend working with Arthur if you need flood insurance.
Chandra Taft did a great job of getting me a fast and fair quote. Chandra is very knowledgeable about flood insurance. I was having trouble with my old flood insurance company, I am very happy i switched.
As a insurance agent, I am always looking to save time and provide great service to my clients. California Flood, Craig Y. has been great to work with. I highly recommend using them as a business partner.
Krista Zilke was amazing...I needed flood insurance to close an acquisition of an apartment building and she got me what I needed and at a reasonable price. Thank you for your productive work.
Quick response and reasonable rates (much lower than thru FEMA). Our agent, Craig Yost, smoothed out the process of moving from FEMA, and answered all my questions promptly. Highly recommend.
They had what I. needed and fast , as I bought a house over the internet unseen- was told in a flood zone at the last minute and they made it affordable and fast for my closing - thank you !
Found this insurance company with the help of my broker. I am very happy with their affordable prices! Arthur Jordan helped me, he was very responsive, kind and friendly. Thank you Arthur!
Farmers would not adjust my flood insurance after my house was rezoned but Craig Yost at California Flood Insurance was able to droop my price by just over $3k. Quick and fast. Thank you
Krista was great and got back to me the next day after requesting a quote. Saved thousands of dollars on Flood Insurance and a huge deductible that made the old policy worthless!
Received the best quote for the flood Insurance for my home. Carig Yost did a wonderful job of walking thought the policy and working with the lending to close the home buying.
Krista Zilke was great to work with and California Flood Insurance got me a quote very quickly. Krista got me coverage while agents from other companies were slow to respond.

Agent Craig Yost found affordable coverage for me for excess flood insurance in SW Florida. Three other agencies that I contacted were unable to provide any quotes.
Great service, quick responses. I could not find even close to their level of coverage for less than 40% over their cost. Truly great costumer service. Thank you.
Krista was our agent. She was great handling all my questions and me being wishy washy. She was very patient with me. Good experience. Hopefully won't need it!
Thank you Krista with your assistance with the flood insurance for my mortgage. You where pleasant to speak with and I will recommend your services to others.
