Holehouse, along with Jake Holehouse and the 11-person Holehouse Agency

1979, writing personal insurance as well as insurance for small and
medium-sized businesses. The agency has developed industry-leading
expertise in specialty areas including flood insurance, high-value
homeowner products, condominium association master policies and
restaurants. Holehouse Agency team members have served as consultants to
help develop private placement flood products for Bankers Insurance
Group, and Homeowners Choice. The firm is also one of a few select
providers of Lloyd’s of London private placement flood products in
Florida.

capabilities, as well as our presence in Florida through the addition of
the Holehouse Agency,” said Curren Coco, CEO of Regions Insurance. “Ron
and his team have extensive experience meeting the unique insurance
needs of individuals and businesses in coastal markets, particularly in
the flood insurance space. Our agreement with the Holehouse Agency is
the latest example of how we continue to expand the scope and reach of
Regions Insurance.”
Ron Holehouse and Jake Holehouse have made significant contributions in
conjunction with recent developments in the flood insurance market. They
worked closely with Florida State Senator Jeff Brandes to craft the
recently passed SB 1094 which provides consumers additional choices in
flood insurance protection by streamlining and expanding opportunities
for private flood insurance. Additionally, the Holehouses are widely
seen as leading resources for information on the Biggert Waters Flood
Insurance Reform Act of 2012 and serve on a number of governmental and
municipal flood boards and committees throughout Florida.

additional resources to our clients and the opportunity to grow with an
industry leader,” said Ron Holehouse. “Regions Insurance shares our
firm’s commitment to protecting and improving our clients’ lives by
offering guidance and counsel. Our insurance professionals have many
