"When my long-time State Farm agent in Gaithersburg closed their business, I was directed to Austin Stein. I assumed the same level of care and attention I had come to rely on for decades would continue. But yesterday proved otherwise. I’ve been a loyal State Farm customer since I was 16, and since 1997 for my rental property in Montgomery Village, ensuring my property was always covered—no missed payments, no lapses. That peace of mind shattered yesterday when I learned, in utter disbelief, that my homeowners insurance had been canceled. My rental property—occupied and vulnerable—had been sitting uninsured for two months without my knowledge. This wasn’t due to missed payments; my insurance has always been escrowed with my mortgage, and every payment was made on time. Instead, it came down to a Maryland law change effective November 1st, requiring out-of-state property owners to have a management company or resident agent. State Farm claims they mailed a notice to my Delaware address in September. We never received it. Not a letter, not a call, not an email. I discovered this horrifying reality only by chance—while paying other property-related bills. There was no proactive call from my agent to warn me that my policy would be canceled. No follow-up to confirm we were aware of this massive change. And when a customer of 26 years suddenly loses coverage, you’d expect the urgency and care to prevent catastrophic exposure. That didn’t happen. It was like watching a safeguard I relied on quietly disappear. When I called to uncover the issue, I was met with a chilling suggestion: “Call other insurance companies.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Not, “Let’s reinstate this immediately and protect your property.” Instead, I felt pushed further into the void of vulnerability. Losing homeowners insurance on my rental property is like standing on the edge of a financial cliff with no safety net. Without it, I’m one disaster away—a fire, a storm, or a single accident—from total devastation. I would have to shoulder every crushing cost alone: repairs I can’t afford, lawsuits that could drain my savings, and mortgage payments with no rental income to cover them. My lender could force costly penalties on me, and as the bills pile up, I’d face lawsuits, bankruptcy, and the seizure of my assets. Foreclosure becomes terrifyingly real, and worse yet, I’d be putting my family’s future on the line, risking not just my property, but everything I’ve worked for—and ultimately, my life as I know it. The physical reaction I had to this realization was overwhelming. My body went cold; my heart raced. I couldn’t breathe as I came to terms with the financial ruin that was narrowly avoided. How many others might have been put in the same dangerous position? While I appreciate Austin Stein and his employee Wendy’s professionalism, their understanding of the gravity of the situation, and their eventual willingness to reinstate the policy, it doesn’t erase what happened. It is this reason I’m giving a 1-star rating. This wasn’t just an oversight—it was a failure to protect. A failure to communicate. A failure to act with the diligence and care that insurance customers trust and pay for. For 26 years, I believed I was safe. Yesterday, I learned how quickly it can all disappear."
