Foremost is a Farmers subsidiary rated A Excellent by AM Best. They specialize in non-standard and specialty personal lines including manufactured homes, mobile homes, older homes, seasonal properties, and landlord policies. Foremost is our primary market for risks that standard carriers decline, including unusual construction types and high claim frequencies.
This is what the claims process actually looks like based on published data and complaint records.
Claims ExperienceStandard claims service through Farmers Insurance Group infrastructure. Adequate for specialty risk claims; not the differentiator on this carrier.
Pricing reflects specialty risk. Higher than standard markets for comparable exposure, but often the only admitted option for specialty property types.
Primary specialty competitors are Stillwater, American Modern, and surplus lines markets. Foremost typically wins on manufactured homes and seasonal property; Stillwater wins on landlord DP-3 for metro investment properties.

Strong recreational vehicle and watercraft appetite

Not competitive on standard single-family owner-occupied homes where admitted carriers have strong appetite
Claims service is competent but not differentiated
Not a good fit for
Standard single-family homeowners who qualify for preferred market carriers. Foremost's rates reflect the higher-risk properties they accept that most other admitted carriers will not write.
