We think much of this is due to the great job that FBAA has done in not only passing great pro-bail legislation in Florida but also in how they have prevented bail reform legislation.<\/li>\n<li>95% of agents said that 2025 has been a good year for their business and 100% of agents who responded anticipate the rest of the year to be strong. There is definitely a more positive vibe in the Florida bail market than we found to be nationally.<\/li>\n<li>100% of the agents said that they see the bail industry remaining strong for the foreseeable future.<\/li>\n<li>When asked about what they felt the one thing was that their surety could be doing better for them, the answers varied.\n<ul>\n<li>20% of respondents wanted better service around large bonds and transfer bonds.<\/li>\n<li>64% wanted better technology solutions and offerings<\/li>\n<li>16% wanted more help growing their business<\/li>\n<li>0% wanted more help fighting bail reform<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The interesting thing about these responses was that no one selected the option of \u201cmore help fighting bail reform.\u201d\u00a0 We can assume that is because FBAA does a fantastic job working with agents and sureties to ensure a strong future for bail.\u00a0 Additionally, we found the technology response interesting.\u00a0 It is hard to argue that access to reliable and effective technology has become essential for agents.\u00a0 It always ranks as one of the most important needs in our surveys.\u00a0 That is why years ago, AIA Surety committed itself to developing its own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bailvision.com\/External\/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proprietary bail management software<\/a> and providing it to our agents for free.\u00a0 It has been a real benefit and differentiator for us.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Agents gave their surety a ranking of 4.2 when asked whether their surety provided them with new and better tools to grow their business. We also find this result interesting as it really tells us what agents are thinking regarding the role of their surety.\u00a0 How many sureties focus on helping agents be more successful?\u00a0 How many sureties focus on giving their agents tools to grow their business?\u00a0 At AIA Surety, we know that our success is dependent on our agent\u2019s success, so whatever we can do to make them better at what they do, we will do it.\u00a0 We are confident that we are the only surety that approaches the business in this way.<\/li>\n<li>Agents gave their surety a whopping ranking of 5.0 when it comes to protecting and defending the bail industry. As we mentioned earlier, I think this is in large part to the great job FBAA does with their lobbyist and in bringing together agents and sureties to help fight bail reform.<\/li>\n<li>None of the agents that participated in the survey had switched sureties in 2025 and none had plans to move for the rest of the year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As always, we appreciate all the agents that took the time to scan our QR code at the FBAA summer conference and take our survey.\u00a0 The results of these types of surveys are not only interesting, but they are extremely informative as they provide us guidance on what is important for agents and how we as a surety can provide more relevant and effective tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The AIA Surety team recently attended the Florida Bail Agents Association summer meeting in Orlando.\u00a0 As part of our sponsorship of the event, we conducted a brief survey of the state of bail in Florida.\u00a0 We would like to thank all the agents in attendance&hellip;  <\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more-button\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aiasurety.com\/bail\/state-of-bail-in-florida-survey-results-2025\/\" title=\"Read State of Bail in Florida Survey Results 2025\">Read more<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12568,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[153,63],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v14.9 -
