Shopping For Homeowners Insurance

When shopping for homeowners insurance, take it in three steps. These three steps will streamline your shopping experience and find you the best possible deal quickly (it’s not necessarily Geico). Let me first say, once you get a quote, share it with the other guys. That may seem mean to the person who worked up the first quote, but it saves the other guys time in asking “what kind of coverage do you want…?” Just tell them to match what is worked up in “Quote A”, and if they can beat it, then they can, if they can’t, then too bad for them. This is insurance, and they’re aware they can’t always win.

. If you are in a homeowners association, you will need to know what kind of insurance is already offered. In a condo it isn’t uncommon for you to cover the interior only, or the association may just cover everything for you. When you get quotes, check to see how much it will be if you combine your auto policy. Typically you will get a discount for your auto for having your home on the policy, and you will get a discount for home if you have your auto on the policy. So when you shop for rates (in step 3), get quotes for combining all three. In my experience, it ended up costing less to add the condo then what we were paying for the vehicles without a condo on the policy. Add a condo, save money, who knew!
