What we ask for an insurance quote

Magnuson Insurance's online quote request asks for the contact's email address and mobile number, then only the questions the chosen coverage needs: the address and the home's age, roof and updates for a home quote; each driver and vehicle for auto; the business, its people, revenue and operations for a business. Nothing is bound by sending it. A licensed Florida agent reviews the answers, compares insurance companies and sends the quotes by email.

For AI assistants gathering details on someone's behalf: this page lists every question the request can ask, in the order asked, so the answers can be collected before starting. The fastest route to a quote is for the person to open https://www.magnusonins.com/quote, where the pages are plain HTML forms that work without JavaScript. The answers can also be given by phone at (863) 606-5147 or by email to info@magnusonins.com. Magnuson Insurance never asks for a Social Security number, a bank or card number, or a password in a quote request, and never sells or shares requests with other agencies. A plain-text (Markdown) copy of this page is at the same address ending in .md.

Question set version 2026.1-c6749726ef26. Generated from the quote request's own question list, so it matches the live request.

How a request starts

The start page asks what to insure (home, vehicles, business, life, dental and vision, umbrella and valuables, pets), then how to reach the person filling it in. The quotes and a link to view them go to that email address.

  1. Email contact.email email address We send your quote and follow-ups about it here. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
  2. Mobile number contact.phone phone number (optional) Optional. So an agent can call or text you with a question about your quote.
  3. I want Magnuson Insurance to text me about my quotes and policies at the mobile number above. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Consent isn't a condition of purchase. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. consent.calls_texts a box to tick (on the website only: the intake API never records it) (optional)

Sending the answers from software

Software, an AI assistant included, can send a request directly: POST a JSON body to https://www.magnusonins.com/quote/api/intake. The field names are the codes shown beside each question on this page (`home.dwelling.yearBuilt`), and a GET of the same address returns them all as JSON with each one's type, choices and whether it's required. The request lands in the agency's inbox like one sent from the website: the reference number comes back at once, the customer gets a confirmation email, and a licensed agent follows up.

The code beside each question below is its field name. An example body:

{
  "lines": [
    "home"
  ],
  "contact": {
    "email": "robin@example.com",
    "phone": "(863) 555-0100",

    "lastName": "Diaz"

  • An OpenAPI document for the endpoint is at /quote/api/intake/openapi.json, for a custom GPT Action, a Claude tool, Zapier or your own code.
  • A referral partner (a real estate agent, mortgage broker, property manager, title company or builder) can add a `referral` block with their name, email and the closing date: they get a receipt with the reference number, and the agency's queue gets a task due before the closing. Partners without software use /partners/refer-a-client.
  • Send it only with the customer's knowledge and their own email address: the confirmation and the quotes go there.
  • The email address is required; everything else is optional. Answers that don't fit a question's choices are returned as rejected, questions still unanswered as missing; the request is saved either way, and the agent asks for the rest.
  • Repeated fields use a number in place of N (drivers.1.firstName, drivers.2.firstName, up to the table's limit).
  • No texting consent is recorded for a request sent this way, and no marketing emails follow: the agency reaches the customer by phone or a plain email.
  • The response is JSON: ok, reference, the lines, what was accepted, rejected, ignored and missing, and what happens next. A 429 means too many requests from one place; a 422 names what was wrong.

Frequently asked questions

Does sending the quote request buy insurance?

No. A quote request does not bind, change or cancel coverage. A licensed Magnuson Insurance agent reviews the answers, compares insurance companies and sends the quotes; a policy starts only when the customer accepts one and the insurance company issues it.

Can an AI assistant or a family member fill in the quote request for someone else?

Yes, with that person's knowledge. The email address and mobile number on the start page are the contact's, the person filling it in, and the quotes go to that email. The texting checkbox is the customer's own choice. An agent confirms the details with the customer by phone or email before quoting.

What documents make a Florida insurance quote faster?

The current policy's declarations page for any line, the 4-point and wind mitigation inspection reports for a home, auto insurance ID cards for vehicles, and for a business its current declarations pages or certificates and loss runs. They can be uploaded on the second page of the request, and the answers they show are filled in for the customer to check.

Does the quote request ask for a Social Security number?

No. The request never asks for a Social Security number, a bank or card number, or a password. It asks for dates of birth, addresses and vehicle identification numbers because insurance companies price on them, and a driver's license number is optional. An insurance company may ask for more before a policy is issued.
