First-time homebuyers make up approximately 33% of all buyers, according to the National Association of Realtors. As a first-time homebuyer, you’re new at this. You’ve never done it before, and your lack of knowledge could cost you time and money with home insurance. Griffin Insurance Agency in Mooresville, NC specializes in working with first-time homebuyers. So, here are some tips you should know if you’re a first-time homebuyer in need of home insurance.
Start Looking for Coverage Options Early
We offer quotes for home insurance coverage no matter where you are in the home-buying process, but it’s better to start early so you have a better idea of the cost. We can make sure you get reliable coverage for your new home.
Determine the Best Insurance Value
As your local insurance provider, we help you understand what level of coverage you need and what that will look like for premiums. Your home insurance does not have to cover the full market value.
What to Consider in Home Insurance Coverage?
We work with you to deliver the level of coverage that you need, based on your unique circumstances. There are overarching home insurance considerations for all new homeowners.
Personal Property
Check the limits for personal property to see coverage and liability. We work with you to determine how to increase that coverage if needed to cover your most valuable belongings.
Guest Medical
This coverage pays the person’s medical expenses when he/she is injured on your property.
Dwelling Coverage
This coverage protects the structure of your home.
Liability Coverage
This type of coverage protects you if a person sues you because of an injury or fault with your property.
Additional Living Expenses
When a covered damage-and-repair situation makes it impossible to live on the property, this coverage pays for your living expenses, including a hotel room.
Exclusions
Check the exclusions for your policy. We can work with you to determine if you need additional coverage to mitigate exclusion situations.
