The process of buying insurance isn't always the first thing that comes to mind as enjoyable but Chris at Cotton's All Lines Insurance, Inc. made it enjoyable and easy. After a couple of very friendly phone conversations, I felt as if Chris and I were old friends. He has a genuineness and honesty about him that makes you feel well taken care of. For anyone in Gainesville and the surrounding areas looking to buy insurance, I would highly recommend, giving Chris a call!

My homeowner's insurance policy for 2022-2023 was set to more than double. I had called my current broker about it and was advised they would shop the policy and get back to me within a week. They never go back to me and when I called them, essentially told me that I was stuck with the doubled rate policy unless I got a new 4 point inspection. Enter Cotton's All Lines Insurance. I was referred there so filled out the online form to get started.

They had contacted me in less than a day, gotten all the information they needed on my house, and shopped around for new carriers for my homeowner's policy. They ended up finding MULTIPLE policy options for me that were lower than my renewal quote and did not require a new 4 point inspection (no time to have gotten one down prior to renewal). They saved me $1700 on my homeowner's policy, and even more amazing, the homeowner's policy let me also do a bundled discount with my car insurance policy so I saved even more. I recommend the team at Cotton's All Lines Insurance in the highest terms possible.

The staff at Cotton's All Lines were extremely helpful in finding me a new home insurance carrier at incredible savings and even increased coverage. They prepared quotes from a number of reputable companies and coached me through the application process. Helped with auto insurance too!

Home, auto, umbrella, renters.they do it all.and we have used it all in almost 15 years living in Gainesville. STORY: We moved across town in 2021 and bought a house with an older roof. They worked hard to find the ONLY carrier that would cover us - American Heritage. Nine (9) days after initiating coverage we experienced an interior flood from a renovation accident with losses in excess of $150K.

American Heritage was 5-star, WORLD CLASS in their attention, service, and care. They could NOT have been more exceptional in providing coverage. We were insured by a different company for 11 years at our previous home but after the experience with American Heritage, I would personally not go back given the choice. I feel so much "brand loyalty" now with how they took care of us. I feel the same way about Mike, Kim, and team at Cotton's. If you want a slick insurance agent.keep looking. If you want honest, hard working, genuine integrity, call Cotton's TODAY!
