Homeowners Insurance
If you are like most people, your home is your single biggest asset. Protecting most of the things that can happen to your home is the purpose of homeowner’s insurance. Here are some typical “what ifs” you should ask yourself when determining the policy coverages, you need.
Will my policy cover both the replacement (re-build) of my home and the contents inside?
Any outbuildings (shed, garage) or fences that need coverage?
Are my expenses to live elsewhere covered if I need to temporarily move out due to a fire or water damage?
What if someone slips and falls on my property? Or what if I slice my drive on the golf course and accidentally hit someone?
I inherited some family valuables…is there special coverage for them?
What if my sump pump fails due to mechanical issues or a power outage?
