​​Did you know over 1000 people move to Florida every day? As amazing as that sounds, it’s not surprising to us because we get so many phone calls from new residents who need Florida insurance. And considering all the companies that are planning to hire new people here in the Lake Mary/Heathrow area like Deloitte, Paylocity, Verizon, and Juenesee, we’re expecting to hear from many more Florida transplants soon.

​We help a lot of people moving to Northern Orlando from out-of-state with their cars so we have a lot of experience with the requirements so here’s everything you need to know:
