Not only is insuring your home a good idea to protect your investment and your family, it is also required by your lender. Just like car insurance, home insurance protects you in case of an unforeseen difficulty with your property. There are several types of insurance that may be required:
Check with your real estate agent to find out what your insurance requirements are. Start the process of finding homeowners insurance as soon as your purchase offer is accepted so you can shop around for the best price. Make sure you have the home's address, square footage, year built, type of roof and the age of the plumbing and electrical systems in front of you before you begin making calls.
Make sure you ask any insurance agent you talk to how much insurance they think you will need and get the deductible on any premium quoted to you. Ask about available discounts and keep in mind that buying your car and homeowner's insurance through one company may save you money.
