Neptune Flood Can Bind Mortgage Compliant Private Flood Insurance During Government Shutdown
Allows real estate closings to take place as scheduled in Florida, Texas and Virginia
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recently published guidance on how to handle a potential lapse in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which expired on January 19, 2018. The guidance implies that no new NFIP policies can be written during the government shutdown.
Neptune Flood offers a private alternative to the NFIP, available in Florida, Texas and Virginia. Where flood insurance is required, Neptune's policies will allow scheduled real estate closings to take place during the government shutdown.
"Private flood insurance, especially from Neptune Flood, provides a viable and necessary alternative in light of government shutdowns and the congress's failure to find a long-term solution to the troubled NFIP," said Jim Albert President & CEO of Neptune Flood Insurance adding, "I founded Neptune Flood because, through the private market, we can offer superior coverage often at a reduced price."
"Neptune Flood has no waiting period which helps us provide immediate coverage to customers referred to us for a loan closing. With Neptune's robust coverage options and competitive rates, it's a win-win for everyone," said Garrett Mitchell, VP of Rocket MGA, one of Neptune Flood's largest distributors.

Neptune's policy is backed by the world's leading insurance market, "A" rated Lloyd's, and meets all the provisions required by Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012, which means mortgage companies accept the coverage.
