So you probably have been able to build or buy your home. This is a
very bold step to take and you deserve commendation. If you love you home as
much as we think you do, then homeowner insurance should be part of the things
you would need. Looking for the right insurance company is a good step but you
have to have basic knowledge on it before making that step. Greater National
Group experts have listed three tips to guide you.
Replacement Cost
So ideally you're looking for coverage to protect you in case of damage
to your home or properties within the home. How much does it cost to rebuild
your home? The answer to this question will tell you the amount of coverage you
will need for your home. There are honest insurance companies out there but you
cannot be too careful. Hire the service of a home builder to walk you through
the process of rebuilding and the estimated cost for such project.
Include Valuables
Valuables can range from an expensive art works, jewelries, family
heirloom, etc. Whatever it is, it would be in your home and would need coverage
too. Do not assume that because you have a home insurance it would cover theft
or damages to such valuables. General homeowner's insurance only covers basic
items in house. To get these valuables insured, you would need to pay more on
your premium. With this expectation, you are well prepared to include such
items.
When Not to File a Complaint
Your home being protected by an insurance policy doesn't mean you should
expect every repair or damage to be undertaken by the insurer. Have a fixed
amount like say $1000. This means you would bear the cost for such repairs or
damages. This point would be communicated to you by the insurance company since
the price differs from one insurer to the other.
