Dylan DiMarchi on Premium Lock: A 3-Year Price Guarantee for Homeowners Insurance | Connected Conversations in InsuranceRay Huang hosts Dylan DiMarchi, co-founder of Eventual, to discuss the volatility in U.S. homeowners insurance since COVID and how Eventual’s Premium Lock offers a three-year price guarantee as a supplement to standard one-year admitted homeowners policies.
Dylan explains how home insurance premiums rose nationally in the high teens (about 15–18%) in 2022–2024, with current growth around 12–13%, while state trends differ—Florida decelerating and California accelerating (around 19–20%) amid availability challenges. He outlines how Premium Lock predicts a home’s premium path over three renewals and reimburses homeowners if premiums exceed the guaranteed threshold, using data, modeling, and agent-submitted quoting information. They also cover agent benefits like differentiation, improved retention, reduced service workload, and how agents can get appointed and quote quickly via a portal and Canopy Connect integration.00:00 Insurance Costs Surge00:40 Podcast Welcome01:37 Dylan's Background03:20 Premium Lock Explained04:08 Market Volatility Trends07:24 How Pricing Is Predicted13:00 Guarantee And Payouts14:09 Canopy Connect Ad Break15:15 Agent Challenges Today20:19 Selling Premium Lock22:32 Product Mechanics Clarified24:38 Canopy Connect Automation25:42 Eligibility And Renewals29:21 Agent Onboarding Steps30:56 Hot Takes Segment35:10 Closing Remarks35:43 Final Canopy Connect Outro
