YOUR FOCUS
Compare home options →No charge to request. No obligation to purchase.
Use current property details, including additions and major improvements. Ask how the dwelling limit relates to rebuilding costs. Review personal property, liability, and additional living expenses alongside the building coverage so the proposal addresses the household as well as the structure.
Compare deductibles, valuation terms, and exclusions with the premium. Flood and earthquake commonly require a separate coverage discussion. An inventory of belongings helps you identify valuable items and ask about special limits without guessing a single coverage amount.
For a first home, get the lender’s insurance requirements and requested proof date. At renewal, check changes in the property and proposed terms. Confirm when coverage is bound and how the lender or mortgage servicer should receive the new policy information.
LOOK BEYOND THE FIRST NUMBER
Keep the same assumptions on both sides of your comparison.
| Compare | Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Building | Rebuilding estimate | Basis of the dwelling limit |
| Deductibles | Events and dollar amounts | Your contribution to a claim |
| Belongings | Valuation and special limits | How covered items are paid |
| Timing | Closing or renewal date | When protection begins |
A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING
Not necessarily. Ask for a rebuilding estimate based on the property rather than using the loan balance or purchase price.
Have the property details, expected closing date, and lender’s coverage and proof requirements available.
Check changes to the home, belongings, limits, deductibles, exclusions, and full premium before comparing another offer.
Do not assume it does. Ask the provider about excluded events and any separate coverage you may need.
The provider must confirm the required application and payment steps, final terms, and when coverage is bound.
Free to request. No obligation to purchase. Availability varies.
