Home Insurance Non-Renewed? Let's Look at Your Options

California homeowners, especially in wildfire-exposed areas, are getting non-renewal notices or finding that carriers won't write new policies where they live. Because we work with multiple carriers, we have more places to look than a single-company agent. We can't promise every home can be placed or that the price will be what you hoped for, but we'll review your situation and walk you through every option we find.

Common Questions About Our Agency

  • What does an independent insurance agency do?

    An independent insurance agency works with multiple insurance carriers instead of just one. That lets us compare coverage and pricing across companies and recommend options that fit you. Arlan Knutson Insurance Agency works with 13 carriers.

  • Why work with car insurance agents in Fallbrook instead of calling car insurance companies directly?

    When you call a car insurance company directly, you only hear about that company's policy. As independent car insurance agents in Fallbrook, we compare multiple carriers for you at once and explain the differences. You also get a local team to call when you need to make a change.

  • Can you help if my California home insurance was non-renewed?

    Yes, we can review your property and look across the carriers we work with for available options. Coverage isn't guaranteed for every home, especially in high wildfire-risk areas, so it helps to reach out as soon as you get your notice.

  • Do you insure businesses in my industry?

    Most likely. We insure contractors, restaurants, retail and convenience stores, commercial property owners, accounting firms, real estate businesses, manufacturers, and many other types of businesses.

  • Is there an independent insurance agency near me in Fallbrook?

    Yes. Arlan Knutson Insurance Agency is at 425 East Alvarado Street, Suite H, Fallbrook, CA 92028. You can visit us in person or work with us by phone, email, and online from anywhere in Southern California.

  • Who owns Arlan Knutson Insurance Agency?

    Debb Bottomley owns the agency. Her dad started it in 1998, and Debb joined him in 2000, so it has been family-owned since day one.
