In his exclusive interview with the Wall Street Transcript, Mr. Raucy details his current status as well as the future growth strategy for Property Insurance (NASDAQ: PIH)

“A lot of milestones. We ended the year with over 50,000 policies in force, which is really pretty amazing for us because we’re not one of these Florida takeout companies that just take out 50,000 policies overnight. These are typically all policies that we’ve underwritten, most of them we’ve gained organically through the independent agency network, and we know every one of them, so we know they are good policies, we’re happy with what we have. About 34,000 at the end of the year were in Louisiana, about another 12,000 at the end of the year were in Texas, and we ended up with about 4,000 or so in Florida. So we’re starting to get some pretty good spread. We just recently got into Florida, though; we went in at the end of last year. So we’re in three states now. All the 50,000 policies were closing in on $100 million in premium. ”
