This group might be your best option if you do not mind dealing with an office that might be a long distance away. The second type of sites are the agent based carriers including State Farm and Farmer's Insurance. You will get rates from a nearby agency and the attendant bonus of having someone to assist you. Sometimes this service is slightly more but not quite as high as some would lead you to believe. The last set of sites consist of what are considered lead aggregators that convey the information you submit to agents in order to to return the best quote. Typically you will be provided multiple quotes from multiple sources. Because of the competition among companies you can often get great rates. However, you might be subjected to follow-up calls from those who buy your lead. As is evident from the above, there are many options to finding affordable homeowner's insurance in North Carolina.
