Cornerstone’s Joshua Butts Discusses Ramifications of National Flood Insurance Program Expiration

Editor’s note: This story aired in June 2017. Congress has since extended the NFIP repeatedly, and FEMA’s Risk Rating 2.0 pricing methodology now governs flood premiums.

The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), operated by FEMA, was set to expire at the end of September 2017. The NFIP covers nearly 5 million homes across the country, with Florida historically accounting for the largest share of policies nationwide. What would happen if Congress chooses not to renew NFIP? “At the time, Cornerstone founder Joshua Butts warned a lapse could deal a serious blow to Florida’s economy,” says Joshua Butts of Cornerstone Insurance.

My husband and I have had a fantastic experience with Cornerstone Insurance. We've used them for both our home and auto insurance. We had the privilege of working with Joshua and Karen; both of them are awesome insurance agents. They were very prompt and kind in their responses and very helpful with any questions we had. Thank you for working with the Carroll family!

My insurance agent is Kyle Wilson. There is none better!! He handles my personal insurance needs and I as a Realtor refer to him my Real Estate Clients. I consistently refer my clients to at least 2 if not 3 different agents for competitive quotes and each time they say to me that "Kyle" is the one who is the quickest to respond and that he really knows his profession. He is helpful and there for you when you need him. I would go to no other than Kyle for all of my insurance needs.

After weeks of frustration with my previous agency, I found James Bonn at Cornerstone and couldn't be happier. He got everything handled quickly and seamlessly, found me better coverage at a comparable premium, and had it all bound within 24 hours. He even coordinated with my lender and canceled my old policy. If you need homeowners insurance in Florida, call James. Highly recommend!
