How to pay for homeowners insurance? This can vary greatly, as you would expect. Here are some affecting factors – 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.

Condo owners insurance essentially the same as homeowners insurance. There are some differences since there are some factors at play such as Home Owners Associations (HOA’s) and they also carry insurance, but in essence, getting insurance for your condo is comparable (maybe less expensive in some areas) to home owners insurance. A cousin to homeowners (or condo owners) insurance is Renters insurance – this is an increasingly popular policy among people renting. The Great Recession may have been a catalyst as more people resorted to renting rather than buying, but there is data that shows that millennials prefer to rent rather than make a larger investment of their time and money in a home/mortgage. Renters insurance typically covers the valuables in the renter’s apartment/condo/home. The primary insured is the person/s renting the home and the estimated value of their property in the rental unit. It normally covers fire and casualty damage, but there are some additional coverages available in some areas like theft coverage, jewelry/valuables, etc. To learn more from our experts in the Long Beach, CA and surrounding areas, get in touch with us. 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 - 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) Flood damage – the typical home insurance policy does not cover flood damage – you will need a separate flood insurance policy for that. Mold damage is normally covered only if you had a recent plumbing leak and you take action quickly. Infestations – insect and vermin infestation (pests) are not covered. 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.

What is the Home Insurance claim process like? Your insurance policy will outline your deductible (and/or waiver of deductible), and the contact information to file a claim. It also outlines what is covered and what is excluded from coverage. Take pictures of all the damage, losses, and document in great detail what you expect to claim. Armed with policy in hand you should call the insurance company and begin the claims process. You will be assigned a claims adjustor after the initial claim filing. You can file a claim on the phone or online in most cases. You will be contacted by the adjustor who will ask for more details and have some questions. The adjustor will them come out or send out a professional to assess the damage, if needed. They will file a report and guide you through the rest of the process – every insurance company is different in the order of handling reimbursements, paperwork filing and organizing repairs etc. But, if you are with a reputable home insurance company, you will have the right information at every step of the way. A local insurance agent, such as us can help walk you through the whole process and coordinate with the insurer and the claims adjustor to make the claims process much easier on the home owner and their family and loved ones – another reason to use a local insurance agency in the Roanoke, TX area.
