The Atlantic Hurricane Season: June 1 - November 30
Your home is your largest asset, but owning a home comes with its own set of risks, which is why you should get homeowners insurance. Insurance is typically required by your lender if you financed your home and protects your property from various events such as: wind, fire or hail. Insurance also covers your personal belongings in case your stuff is stolen or destroyed.
Do you have the right coverage?
Here are nine reasons you should review your insurance policy annually, prior to renewal. Did you know that your insurance policy could be cancelled if you do not complete requested repairs? Under the condition of your agreement, your insurance company has the right to protect their investment and therefore can make critical repairs mandatory. If you get cancelled, this could affect your future insurance score, or insurability, resulting in significantly higher rates.
RezDox RULS (Residential Useful Life Score) helps homeowners know which repairs are critcal.
