When considering what kind of homeowner’s insurance is right for you, you might want to consider these factors:
- Use an independent agent - We can shop the marketplace for you and give you many options for the top rated insurance companies.
- Confusing market value with replacement cost - You need to insure your home for the true cost to rebuild with like kind and quality, or replacement cost. Market value may be defined as the real-estate market value or what you can sell the home for as is and under current market conditions.
- Forgetting special items - Guns, coin collections, art and jewelry may need to be itemized under a policy rider for these items to be covered correctly.
- Thinking the lowest price is the best - Insurance policies are all different, and the lower the premium, usually means the less coverage you have.
- Not considering special coverages like flood, earthquake and wind insurance is important, depending on where you live. These coverage’s are excluded under your homeowner’s insurance.
- Determining your deductible can be important, especially if you have the financial resources. A higher deductible is one effective method of reducing premiums.
