Independent Agents across the state will gain access to premium homeowners insurance starting this month.

BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / May 8, 2024 / Openly, the premium homeowners insurance provider, announced it will begin rolling out to independent insurance agents and homeowners in the state of Connecticut.

"Continuing our expansion across the U.S. remains integral to our strategy, and we are thrilled to be building out our Northeast presence with our entry into Connecticut," said Ty Harris, CEO and co-founder of Openly.
