Hello neighbor! Welcome to our Homeowners Insurance Guide! Here you’ll find everything you need to know about homeowners insurance — from coverage basics to choosing the right policy. Let’s dive in.

 

Home is where the heart is…

 

And for most people, it is also where a majority of the things they own are as well. People’s entire lives revolve around their home.
 

Buying a home is normally one of the largest investments a person makes in their lifetime.

 

And so naturally, finding a way to protect that investment becomes a very important area of concern. Since there are many events, whether natural or man-made, that can cause damage to your home or completely destroy it.

 

Having homeowners insurance is one sound way of providing protection for your home. It can give you the peace of mind in knowing that if something bad were to happen to your home you will not be completely at loss.

 

There is however, more to homeowners insurance than just simply having it; it’s also very important for you to have the right types of protection that specifically caters to you and your home.

 

In the past it used to be that certain natural dangers were only a threat to certain areas of the country; like wildfires are to the west coast, or hurricanes and flooding are to the east and south coast.

 

But now nature is presenting new challenges to areas of the country it normally wouldn’t. And with the current and future state of climate change taking a turn for the worst, nature and weather patterns have become even more unusual and unpredictable.

 

And so now, more than ever, it is very important to make sure you have the right protection for your home. Even if you already have a policy, you may want to take another look at the protection you have to make sure you are properly protected.

 

Almost every home presents its own unique situation, and so it is important for you to take the time to assess the situation for your home and then provide the right protection for it.

 

The last thing a homeowner would want to hear is that after having spent almost their entire life paying for their home and also paying for insurance to protect it, that they still lost their home to damages; all because they did not choose the right type of protection for their home. I can only imagine how horrible that must feel.

 

We do not want this to happen to you.

 

Another important area, aside from having the right type of protection, is having the proper knowledge about the topic of homeowners insurance. This makes you better prepared to deal with the insurance companies, especially when buying homeowners insurance from them.

 

Informed shoppers are more likely to get the best possible coverage at the best possible price.

 

You should get to know standard information such as the many different types of coverage available for you to buy; as well as the type of information you will need to provide to get a quote or estimate for that coverage.

 

The sole purpose of this guide is to do all that. To provide you with all the necessary information you need to know about homeowners insurance, as well as guide you to choosing the right types of protection for you and your home.

 

The fine folks here at Insurance Policy Authority have assembled this guide with every homeowner in mind.

 

It is information packed yet very easy to go through. We specifically designed it in a way so that the average person could understand and relate to the material.

 

It doesn’t matter if you’re a person who has never had homeowners insurance before and is completely new to the topic; or someone who currently has homeowners insurance and knows quite a bit about it. This guide is a great way for everyone to learn all the important information they need to know about homeowners insurance.

 

We’ll also show you how to shop and compare multiple offers side-by-side with our revolutionary Offer Comparison Sheet; which ensures that you’ll find the best deal possible.

 

The overall objective of this guide is to provide you with all the necessary homeowners insurance information, so that when it is time for you to choose a policy/company; you’ll choose the best one suited for you.

 

What our objective is not, is to tell you to go out and buy homeowners insurance from company A or company B or from any specific insurance company for that matter. Rather it is to give you the knowledge you need so you can make that decision on your own; based on what we teach you as well as what each company is offering you.

 

This is all we strive to achieve. To empower you with information so you can make the best decisions.

 

Note that this guide is in no way a “quick fix” solution to learning homeowners insurance. A lot of other places out there compete to be the fastest way to learn about it, but we don’t.

 

Rather we pride ourselves in being the most straight forward and logical way to learn about homeowners insurance.

 

You should take the time to go through the entire guide. We promise that you will benefit from doing so; if not financially (by saving money on your homeowners insurance), then simply by the new found knowledge you will receive. Trust me; you will see homeowners insurance in a whole new light.
