Our companies implement reviews of their clients’ limits for homeowners coverage annually. These limits are based on estimates of the replacement costs within neighborhoods. The outcome of the calculations may lead to adjustments of the policy limits. The estimates are usually related to each area’s general factors and are provided by various appraisal agencies.
This is only one part of the entire systematic process. We also suggest that you get an agent to check your insurance for you at least annually. This will allow you to choose carefully the proper coverages you will need. Nobody wants to pay a higher premium than is necessary. However, the costs of construction continue to rise significantly each year. As a homeowner, it is important for you to ensure that possible future losses are satisfactorily covered by your insurance policy.
This is true, especially, if you have made new improvements to your house but have not yet included these within your coverage. And even if improvements have not been made, we still suggest that you review your insurance coverage in order to make sure that it is enough to cover the costs you have to incur when rebuilding your home. Also, remember that rebuilding costs can be different in different areas and neighborhoods.
It’s always best to review your coverage and ensure that your assets and your family’s future are protected. The following is a list of some of the things you should consider as you review your policy with your agent.
You, as the homeowner, know more about your house than anybody else. That’s why you have to decide what’s best for you, your property, and your family. As agents, we are happy to help with whatever you need especially when it comes to evaluating your policy, its coverages, and its limits.
