Home Owners Insurance in Towson, MD

What are the common exclusions on a homeowner’s insurance policy?

In general, negligence is not covered by any type of insurance policy – but here are some common exclusions for the home owner to be aware of -
  1. Earthquake Insurance (including ground movements, sinkholes, etc)- in earthquake states you are explicitly asked to sign an earthquake insurance waiver. Alternatively you can get earthquake insurance (normally from a different insurer)
  2. Flood damage – the typical home insurance policy does not cover flood damage – you will need a separate flood insurance policy for that.
  3. Mold damage is normally covered only if you had a recent plumbing leak and you take action quickly.
  4. Infestations – insect and vermin infestation (pests) are not covered.
  5. Dangerous Dogs – you are asked about your pets when applying for a home insurance policy specifically because many carriers do not cover a situation where your dog bites a neighbor. In fact, you may not get coverage if you have a dangerous dog; or you may pay a higher premium. Dog bite insurance claims are well over a quarter of all home insurance claims, so insurers are increasingly careful about insuring dangerous pet owners.

How to get discounts on homeowners insurance?

The simplest way to get a discount is to bundle your policies with a single insurance agent. Local insurance agents typically have multiple carrier partnerships and can find you the best deal while bundling. Bundling does not always mean you will have multiple policies with a single insurance carrier. Here is an example where your agent at our agency Vince Vanneman - State Farm Insurance Agent can help you consolidate, bundle and figure out how to save you money overall –
  1. Personal Auto with Progressive
  2. Home Insurance with Travelers
  3. Umbrella (typically with the Auto Insurance carrier) with Progressive
  4. Boat Insurance with SkiSafe
  5. Business Insurance with Hartford

How to pay for homeowners insurance?

This can vary greatly, as you would expect. Here are some affecting factors –
  1. Insurers give homeowners monthly pay options (with an additional service fee), an annual prepay and sometimes a quarterly pay. You can also get the insurance premium ‘impounded’ with your mortgage payment – where your mortgage servicer collects the money from you as part of your monthly mortgage fee (plus home insurance dues), and they in turn put the additional payments into an escrow account and disburse the taxes and insurance accordingly on your behalf. When the insurance premiums rise, the mortgage services company adjusts your payment structure accordingly.
