As Florida homeowners continue to grapple with skyrocketing insurance premiums, canceled policies, and the overall uncertainty of staying in their homes, the demand for answers and solutions has never been more urgent. In response to this growing crisis, WPTV is hosting a live town hall in Port St. Lucie, offering residents the opportunity to voice their concerns and gain insights from key experts in the industry.
This town hall will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 7 p.m., and will be hosted by WPTV’s Matt Sczesny and Meghan McRoberts. Among the distinguished panelists is Calvin Johnson, the licensed home inspection expert and owner of Vcita Home Inspection, based right here in Port St. Lucie.
Why This Town Hall Matters
For months, Floridians have been struggling with the impact of the state’s insurance crisis, facing drastic increases in premiums, abrupt policy cancellations, and an overall fear of losing their homes due to unaffordable costs. With hurricanes and storm damage compounding the issue, homeowners are left in a precarious situation. This town hall offers a platform for residents to engage directly with experts and lawmakers about what can be done to alleviate this crisis.
The live forum invites audience participation, encouraging attendees to ask questions to a panel of key figures involved in shaping the future of Florida’s insurance landscape.
Meet the Panelists
The panel for the town hall brings together a diverse group of voices, each with a different perspective on Florida’s insurance issues:
- State Rep. Toby Overdorf, R-Palm City – Offering insights from a legislative standpoint, Rep. Overdorf will discuss efforts being made at the state level to address the insurance crisis.
- District 84 Democratic State Rep. candidate Andi Poli – Poli will bring her views on policy reform and what changes can be implemented to protect homeowners.
- Calvin Johnson, Licensed Home Inspection Expert – As the owner of Vcita Home Inspection, Calvin Johnson will shed light on the importance of professional home inspections, how they impact insurance premiums, and why a thorough inspection can help homeowners lower their rates and ensure the safety and value of their homes.
- Melissa Burt DeVriese, President of Security First Insurance – As a leader in the insurance industry, DeVriese will provide a direct look into the insurance companies’ response to the crisis and what homeowners can expect moving forward.
Calvin Johnson’s Expertise on the Panel
Calvin Johnson of Vcita Home Inspection will bring a vital perspective to the conversation, particularly on how licensed home inspections play a crucial role in reducing insurance costs. As a home inspector deeply familiar with the challenges Floridians face—especially in regions like Port St. Lucie, prone to hurricanes and storms—Johnson will explain how a thorough home inspection can not only uncover potential problems but also provide homeowners with the tools they need to negotiate better insurance rates.
With insurance companies now more concerned than ever about the condition of homes they cover, a certified inspection report can highlight the current state of the roof, electrical systems, and other key areas that affect insurance premiums. Johnson’s expertise helps bridge the gap between homeowners and insurance companies by ensuring properties are well-maintained and prepared for Florida’s unpredictable weather.
Additionally, Johnson will discuss how Vcita Home Inspection offers free insurance and inspection report evaluations, providing homeowners with peace of mind and a clearer understanding of their insurance options.
