Purchasing A New Home? Let Us Help Make Your Closing Less Stressful

Moving into a new home is exciting, full of to-dos, and a lot of work. There are loan applications, house showings, and moving logistics; however, one part of the moving in process that shouldn’t be stressful is making sure you’re properly insured.

Purchasing a home is one of the largest and most expensive investments we’ll ever make, and obtaining proper home insurance is absolutely critical.

For starters, your house should be insured for the full Replacement Cost, and not the Market Value. You’ll need to have coverage for your personal property and higher valued items such as jewelry, antiques, or expensive electronics. How much liability coverage you need is important too, and depending on your financial situation, perhaps an Umbrella policy is needed. Do you need other endorsements not included on a standard policy, like water back-up, service line coverage, or refrigerated products coverage?

It also pays to compare policy deductibles. Over the past several months we’ve seen numerous carriers increase their starting deductibles to $2,000 or percentage amounts. Did you know that many insurance providers in Virginia still offer lower deductibles?

There’s also policy eligibility. Liability risks such as pools, wood stoves, the age of your roof, unrepaired damages, and even the breed of your dog can affect the eligibility of your home.
