Leona was designing each room and choosing new paint, Marcus was dreaming of his backyard oasis.  So when the topic of home insurance came up, neither knew where to start.

Insurance Brokers are licenced professionals who can offer you expert advice and opinions regarding your insurance needs.  An Insurance Broker is independent from an insurance company, and as a result, they can offer you advice that puts your home insurance needs first. Because Insurance Brokers work with a variety of insurance companies, they generally have a broader understanding of each companies’ offerings and benefits. You have access to a professional who desires to put you and your home insurance needs first.

 

The first step is to discuss your personal home insurance needs, which includes your homes structure, personal contents, items of particular value or heirlooms that may require an independent policy. They also address insurance that will protect your outdoor structures (gazebo, shed, etc..) and yourself personally. Insurance Brokers have access to a wide variety of insurance companies and products that they can navigate and negotiate for on your behalf based on your insurance needs. Because the needs of frequently change over time, your Insurance Broker will cross-check your home insurance policy to review and evaluate any insurance overages and/or deficiencies as changes occur. Should you suffer an insurance loss, your Insurance Broker will guide you through the claims process, providing expert advice and direction.

 

Whether you are purchasing your first home or your dream home, working with an Insurance Broker will save you time, money and the worry of navigating the insurance world. An Insurance Broker works for you; not the insurance companies. Your Insurance Broker acts on your behalf to negotiate the insurance world and ensure your policy is reflective of your needs.
