"In recent years, finding homeowners insurance in California has been a significant challenge," said Guy A. Main, president of Condor Insurance Co. "We want to help California get moving again, and a key to that is making insurance available to homeowners in all zip codes zip code

 to its recovery has been the limited growth of the state's housing market. While job growth since 1990 has been significant, the cost of insurance, magnified by homeowners insurance availability shortages following the 1994 Northridge earthquake The Northridge earthquake occurred on January 17, 1994 at 4:31 AM Pacific Standard Time in the city of Los Angeles, California. The earthquake had a "strong" moment magnitude of 6. , has stunted further growth in a critical sector of the California economy.

The large insurance losses from the Northridge earthquake caused many insurers to stop writing new policies in California. In contrast, Condor is making a significant move by offering home buyers broad insurance coverage.

A Complete Program

Condor's new homeowners insurance program insures owners of single-family homes in California. The program offers broad protection for the house and its contents against losses from fire, lightning, windstorms, vandalism and theft. Extended replacement cost protection for personal and family possessions, as well as personal liability protection and coverage for medical payments, are included in all policies.

Additional coverages including earthquake, jewelry jewelry, personal adornments worn for ornament or utility, to show rank or wealth, or to follow superstitious custom or fashion.

The most universal forms of jewelry are the necklace, bracelet, ring, pin, and earring.
, silverware, art works, stamp and coin collections, computers and cameras are also available.

Direct Service to Homeowners

The cost of homeowners insurance in California is as much an issue as its availability. For this reason, Condor is offering the policies directly to homeowners.

"Providing insurance to California residents is a challenge," explained Main. "To do so, we had to approach the problem in an entirely new way. Our solution is to work directly with homeowners. We believe this will allow Condor to give California homeowners what they need -- quality insurance coverage at an affordable price, with straight answers and fast, professional service."
