citizens partners with ezlynx to provide homeowners quotes in florida

On Tuesday, EZLynx, an Applied company, announced an agreement with Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, Florida's state-backed insurer. Through Citizens, more than 7,000 agents will receive no-cost access to the EZLynx Rating Engine to enable them to quote home and dwelling fire policies in Florida.

EZLynx will allow Citizens to optimize how eligibility determination against the private market is delivered to its appointed agents at the point of sale and renewal.

“In compliance with Florida statutes, Citizens operates a clearinghouse program designed to help find private-market insurance company offers before applying for or renewing a property insurance policy with Citizens," said Jeremy Pope, chief administrative officer, Citizens Property Insurance Corporation. “This solution will deliver a new, simple quoting experience to our agents, making eligibility determination with Citizens easier than ever."

EZlynx allows agents to provide customer service and cross-selling opportunities for new markets. Florida agents will be able to enter applicant data once, and the rating engine will return real-time home and dwelling fire quotes from multiple carriers.

“EZLynx has revolutionized comparative rating for more than 20 years with our easy-to-use, modern quoting experience and the broadest panel of carriers in the industry," said Michael Streit, general manager, EZLynx. “This partnership will deliver access to more carriers that offer home and dwelling fire policies to agents in Florida and beyond, enabling them to provide the best coverage for their customers and grow their book of business."

Applied Systems is also offering Florida agents the option to upgrade to a complete EZLynx account, which expands access to personal auto quoting and agent management system (AMS) capabilities.
