Guide to Purchasing Homeowners Insurance

Home insurance quotes can be obtained online, over the phone, or through an agent. But first, go through the following steps:

1. Determine how much protection you require: Is a standard policy adequate, or do you need additional coverage for things like identity theft or sewer backups? Check to see if each company you're thinking about has the options you require.
2. Take a look around: Take inventory of your belongings to ensure you have adequate personal property coverage. All furniture, electronic devices, clothing, jewelry, and household items should be included. What would it cost to replace them? This is the bare minimum of personal property insurance you should have.
3. Make a reasonable comparison: When comparing rates, make sure that each insurer provides the same limits and deductibles.
4. Examine consumer complaints: Although it may be tempting to simply choose the cheapest option, before selecting a policy, consider how many consumer complaints each insurer has. If you ever need to file a claim, poor customer service could have a significant impact on your experience.
