Where to Get Cheap Homeowners Insurance
Hi! My name is Brian Stevens. I am a former Insurance agent and a financial consultant and I am going to show you how to get cheap Homeowners Insurance.
Homeowners Insurance gives you four areas of protection:
Structural - Structural coverage pays to have your home rebuilt if it's damaged or destroyed. To find out how much coverage you need, get the square foot building cost in your area from a builder or realtor, then multiply that figure by your home square footage.
Personal Property - Personal property coverage, your personal property is anything in your home that's not a part of your house structure such as clothing, furniture, appliances, electronics, etcetera. To figure out how much personal property coverage you need, take an inventory of everything you own and add up each item's value to get the coverage amount.
Liability - Liability coverage pays for damage done to others on their property when you are at fault. It also pays you the legal fees if you are sued. If you don't have a lot of assets, $100,000 worth of coverage may be enough. But if you do have a lot of assets that you can lose on a lawsuit, consider purchasing at least 300 to $500,000 worth of liability coverage.
Off premises - Finally off premises coverage pays for your basic living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable due to fire or other causes. This coverage is especially important if you live in a high risk area for natural disasters. Most Homeowners Insurance policies do not cover floods and earthquakes so you will need to purchase extra coverage if you live in a flood or earthquake zone.
Insurance rates can vary by hundreds even thousands of dollars from one company to the next. So the best way to get cheap Homeowners Insurance is to go to an insurance comparison website where you can compare rates from a number of different companies. To get the cheapest rate, make sure you request the highest deductible you can afford and get all the discounts you are eligible for. The better comparison sites even have insurance experts on-hand to answer any questions you may have through their online chat service.
