6 Smart Tips For Homeowners’ Insurance Buyers

1/31/2018

2 Comments

 
Picture
A lot of people are unfamiliar with the contents of a homeowner’s insurance policy because it’s rare for them to make a claim or even hear stories of claims on the insurance. Even when you try to study the policy, it can be difficult because of the numerous difficult terms written. So is there a way for us to compare which policy would be better? What should we do when we need to make a claim? These 6 tips will help answer these questions for you.
Read buyer’s guides
You can easily read guides online on what you need to know before buying homeowners insurance, such as how to pick your policy and insurer, how to make use of discounts, and how to handle claims.

Scan through a few policies

Study the contents of each policy by reading and comparing what’s written. The main factors you need to compare are the costs and the coverages of the policies. Since there may be a lot that you won’t understand, don’t hesitate to ask the insurer’s agents for assistance.

Do a research on your insurer
Your policy won’t protect you if your insurer is bankrupt, so do some research before deciding which company should provide your policy. Some things to look for are the insurer’s financial strength, claim settlement record, and feedbacks from customers.

Provide documentations

Be sure to take documentation of your house both before and after an unfortunate event. It can serve as proof of what are your belongings, how much do they worth, and what are your losses during the accident. Records can also be useful when you want to make a complaint because your claim is denied by your insurer.

Get competing bids
Your insurer will lead you to think that choosing their preferred contractors would be better, because your house will be fixed faster, but they might not do their work so well. Having preferred contractor is a way for your insurer to reduce repair costs, but their quality of work is questionable. Get competing bids from other contractors, even ones that are not connected to your insurer.

Look for help
If you don’t know what you need to do and what you shouldn’t do when you need to make a claim, consult with people who have gone through the same experience. If that’s not enough, you can also hire a professional to help you.
Make sure to follow these tips before making a purchase and during a claim to get the most benefits from your policy. We’ll gladly provide help if you’re interested in having your house protected.

I like that you mentioned that if you aren't experienced with making an insurance claim, it is important to work with a professional. My wife and I are going to be buying our first home soon and we aren't very familiar with homeowner's insurance. This information will be helpful for us as we look for a reliable insurance company.

Thanks for your tip about looking for the documents I may need early on. I wouldn't want to go back and forth to an insurance provider's office hunting papers down so I'll have to make sure to do that beforehand. I've been thinking of finally getting our house insured now that I can afford it so I hope I can do what I can to make the process run as smoothly as possible.
