Welcome,

Citizens' Agents!

It’s been a busy year at Slide and we are excited to round out the year with participation in Citizens' Depopulation ("Depop") Programs.

It's an honor to work with you as we help our new policyholders make the move to Slide!

We've got great news!

The depop process is simple and hassle-free with no applications, inspections, or underwriting. No action on your client’s part is required.

Many new Slide policyholders can also avoid any extra costs from Citizens' upcoming flood coverage requirement. Once with Slide, your clients will have access to a wide range of coverage options tailored to their unique needs.

Check your inbox for news on policy selection, onboarding instructions, and the Slide Insurance Citizens Depopulation Webinar.

We aim to make this transition as seamless as possible for both you and your clients.
