Homeowner and Renters Insurance
Insurance is an unusual product. It's personal and most
often needed in times of stress. If your home catches on fire or
is burglarized, your insurance agent is one of the first to
respond. That is a big responsibility and we take it seriously.
Homeowners can use the following questions to help assess your
present homeowners policy and determine whether you should have
additional protection. One way to receive a possible price break
on homeowners insurance is to insure your car and home with one
company. This usually qualifies customers for a premium discount.

Homeowners Q & A
- Q. Have you made an inventory in the last year or two
of your home's contents: clothes, furniture, household goods,
collections, art, appliances, electronics, etc.?
A. Personal possessions are covered as a percentage
of the insurance limits on the structure-anywhere from 50 to 80
percent, depending on the policy. Estimate how much it would
cost to replace each item at today's prices and call us for a
review of your level of protection.
- Q. Are you aware that you can reduce your insurance
costs by increasing your deductible?
A. Raising it to $500 or $1000 will help hold down
your insurance costs.
- Q. Are you operating a business in your home?
A. Homeowners policies provide only limited
protection against theft, fire or liability for home business
operators. A separate in-home business policy can cost as little
as $75 per year.
- Q. Have you considered flood insurance?
A. Flooding can be caused by heavy rain, snowmelt,
mudslides, hurricanes, severe storms, overflowing rivers,
streams or tidal waters, and levee failure. Standard home
insurance does not provide coverage for flood. We can help you
get insurance through the U.S. government National Flood
Insurance Program.
- Q. Is the amount of insurance on your home enough to
rebuild it at today's prices?
A. Rebuilding costs can vary greatly with the local
cost of labor, materials and building codes. It also depends on
the cost of matching the materials used in the original
construction. We can help you keep your insurance coverage up to
date.
