Now, Maryland Homeowners Can Buy Progressive Policies.


Progressive has made its homeowners insurance product available through independent agents in Maryland--the third state in which the auto insurer An individual or company who, through a contractual agreement, undertakes to compensate specified losses, liability, or damages incurred by another individual.

An insurer is frequently an insurance company and is also known as an underwriter.
 has introduced its homeowners product within the past year.

Progressive applies the same data-driven approach to pricing homeowners insurance as it does to auto insurance, John Barbagallo, homeowners general manager, Progressive, said in a statement. Agents selling Progressive's homeowners product work with customers to gather information about the unique characteristics of the customer's home, resulting in more competitive rates, he said.

Progressive introduced homeowners insurance in Arizona Arizona (âr'əzō`nə), state in the southwestern United States. It is bordered by Utah (N), New Mexico (E), Mexico (S), and, across the Colorado R., Nevada and California (W).  in March and in Michigan Michigan (mĭsh`ĭgən), upper midwestern state of the United States. It consists of two peninsulas thrusting into the Great Lakes and has borders with Ohio and Indiana (S), Wisconsin (W), and the Canadian province of Ontario (N,E).  in October October: see month.  of 2000.

"We'll definitely launch in more states, but I can't say where or when," said Kathleen Colan, a Progressive spokeswoman.
