Consumer complaints

One strong sign of consumer satisfaction is how many people complain about their insurance company to state agencies. The Concord Group scores highly on this measure, drawing a very low proportion of home insurance complaints compared to other U.S. insurers.

How we determined our complaint scores We analyzed three years' worth of complaint data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. When comparing insurers, we accounted for company size and total premiums.

How to file a claim with The Concord Group

To file a claim, you’ll need to contact your independent agent or call The Concord Group directly. Each state has its own claim support number, which you can find here.

Here are some key things to remember when filing a home insurance claim:

Document the damage. Take photos and create an inventory of damaged items. Provide details like labels and model numbers if possible, especially for more expensive items. Once you've documented the damage, you can make temporary repairs if it's safe to do so.

File your claim as soon as possible. This is especially important if the damage was caused by a storm, as it likely means other homes in the area were also affected.

Save your receipts. You may end up spending money on temporary repairs or living expenses before getting a payment from your insurance company. Keep all receipts so you can submit them for reimbursement later.

Phone: If you need help with your policy, your primary point of contact will likely be your local agent. However, you can also call The Concord Group at 800-852-3380.

Email: You can send an email through the company’s contact page.

Online tools

Website: The Concord Group’s website offers a customer portal where you can pay bills, see policy details and sign up for electronic documents. However, you can’t get quotes or file claims on the site.

Homeowners insurance rates methodology

NerdWallet calculated median rates for 40-year-old homeowners from various insurance companies in the 25 largest cities in each U.S. state by population. All rates are rounded to the nearest $5.

Sample homeowners were nonsmokers with good credit living in a single-family, two-story home built in 1984. They had a $1,000 deductible and the following coverage limits:

  • $300,000 in dwelling coverage.

  • $30,000 in other structures coverage.

  • $150,000 in personal property coverage.

  • $60,000 in loss of use coverage.

  • $300,000 in liability coverage.

  • $1,000 in medical payments coverage.

We made minor changes to the sample policy in cases where rates for the above coverage limits or deductibles weren’t available.

In states where credit is a rating factor, we changed the credit tier from “good” to “poor,” as reported to the insurer, to see rates for homeowners with poor credit.

These are sample rates generated through Quadrant Information Services. Your own rates will be different.

Complaint methodology

NerdWallet examined complaints received by state insurance regulators and reported to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in 2022-2024. To assess how insurers compare with one another, the NAIC calculates a complaint index each year for each subsidiary, measuring its share of total complaints relative to its size, or share of total premiums in the industry. To evaluate a company’s complaint history, NerdWallet calculated a similar index for each insurer, weighted by market shares of each subsidiary, over the three-year period.

NerdWallet conducts its data analysis and reaches conclusions independently and without the endorsement of the NAIC. Ratios are determined separately for auto, home (including renters and condo) and life insurance.
