"My name is Tony Laughlin and have been a client of Shepard Insurance Agency since late 1997. I came to this agency for the purpose of getting lower insurance rates. I not only found lower insurance rates, but I found by far, one the best agents in Ms. Luz Gomez. I unfortuneately have had a few incidents with my vehicles in the past, and I never felt that I was getting anything but top service. The phone calls are returned in very timely manner, and questions are answered as if they knew before they were asked. With the service I receive, I feel like I am their only client. There is no exaggeration in any of these comments, I feel the way I have explained. Thank you Shepard Insurance and a special thanks to Luz Gomez. "

"I want to thank your agency, and especially you for your professionalism. In the years we have been clients, all of our business has been not only straight forward and expedient, but pleasurable. We get all the information we need in an easy to understand way. Your suggestions are always welcome, and have created better protection for us. My wife and I thank you. "

Question: Can a lender demand that a home buyer purchase a specified amount of insurance, or purchase a policy from a specified lender?

Answer: While lenders are free to insist that sufficient insurance is purchased to protect the lender's financial interest, they may not require customers, as a condition of the loan, to purchase insurance from any particular insurer. Provisions in the California Civil Code prohibit lenders from requiring insurance in excess of the replacement value of whatever building or other improvements are on the land.
