June 1 marked the start of hurricane season, and flooding remains the number one most common disaster in the United States.

For Florida property owners, this is an important reminder that standard homeowners' insurance does not cover flood damage, yet flooding is often one of the most overlooked risks.

In our latest blog, we explain why flood insurance matters, what it covers, and one important timing detail that could affect whether you are protected when it matters most.

Take a few minutes to read it, it could make all the difference this season: https://www.shepherdins.com/why-every-florida-property-needs-flood-insurance/

Big shoutout to Rick O'neal with Nothing Missed Home Inspections LLC. 👏

He stopped by the office today, brought pizza & wings (which didn’t last long 😅), and gave our team a great presentation.

It’s always a huge plus when we can connect with local professionals who take pride in what they do—and Rick definitely fits that bill. Thorough, knowledgeable, and someone we feel confident recommending to our clients.

If you’re buying a home and want someone who truly doesn’t miss anything, Rick’s your guy.

Appreciate you, Rick! 🍕🔥
