Before you shop around for your home insurance policy, you should have an idea of the coverage you seek to protect your home and personal possessions.
3. Consider Speaking to a Insurance Professional
4. Shop Around
Don’t purchase the first quote you get, take your time to compare quotes and options available. While saving is important, make sure that all your needs are met because you don’t want to risk having too little coverage.
5. Decide If You Want a Higher Deductible or Higher Premium
A deductible is the amount you are responsible for paying in an event of a claim. The lower the deductibles, the higher your rates. Therefore, if you want a lower monthly premium, brace yourself for a higher deductible.
6. Ask How Water Damage is Covered in Your Policy
Water is the most common cause of damage to home, so ask how your home insurance policy covers this type of damage.
7. Ask About Discounts
There are discounts available to homeowners, if you have a claim free past, new home improvements, alarm system installed, etc. Make sure to ask your home insurance advisors about the discounts you can qualify for.
