  • Frank, In addition to letting you know that I appreciate you taking good care of me...I also wanted to thank you for recommending Mike at Brightway. He did a great job working with me to tailor both my homeowners and flood insurance to get the deal done. The seamless coordination between you and him expedited the process and engendered confidence on my part that all base were being covered.
