How to shop for personal insurance THE RIGHT WAY

Credit: www.jandils.com

At EPS Insurance, we don’t just slam dunk a quote, bind coverage, and tell you to have a nice day. We take the time to do the job properly and professionally. As we have access to numerous carriers, we are very good at being price competitive.

However, a great price means nothing if you have a serious claim and are not covered properly. This is why we take the time to walk through every aspect of your coverage line-by-line to make sure you understand what your policy means to you.

Being “insurance poor” is no fun. Being “claim poor” is profoundly worse.

So, at EPS, we want, whenever possible to run an apples-to-apples comparison with your current policies. You may have a great policy with very high coverage limits and we need to match that. There is a wrong way and a right way to obtain this information.

THE WRONG WAY involves looking all over your house – or, worse yet, having your spouse do the looking – in an attempt to find these documents. DON’T DO THIS!

THE RIGHT WAY is much simpler and stress-free: 

  1. CALL YOUR CARRIER and ask them to EMAIL your FULL CURRENT POLICIES. This means all of them, i.e., your car, home, umbrella, boat, rental, etc. You can also obtain this information from their website or app.
  2. Bundle car and house insurance whenever at all possible. 99.9 percent of the time it will save you money!
  3. And make sure that they email you your FULL CURRENT AUTO POLICY, and NOT just the slip that you put in your glove box.
  4. Once you have this information, please email it to me at epsinsures@gmail.com.
  5. Also, please provide the date of birth and driver's license number of all licensed drivers in the household.
  6. Once we have this information, we will want to do a 15-20 minute call to go over several questions which will help us tailor a policy to your specific needs.
  7. Please answer all calls, emails, and texts from your agent within 24 hours. And check emails at least once a day.
Then we will shop for the right coverage for you and your family and do it the right way.

And if you don't have time for this, do you have time to have a serious claim and find out that that policy you bought online won't cover you?

“Why didn’t you tell me?” is the one question you should never have to ask and one question your insurance agent should never have to answer.

We look forward to serving you.

Five things every realtor and mortgage lender must know about insurance

  Credit: www.clutchpoints.com This coming Sunday, the two best teams in the NFL, the Eagles and the Chiefs, face off in Super Bowl LVII. Football is the ultimate team sport. On a great team,  every player has a role and must strive for perfection in executing the duties associated with that role. A successful real estate transaction is quite similar: it is a team effort where everyone has a role and must strive for perfection in executing their respective duties. This includes the realtor, the mortgage lender, the insurance agent, the inspector, the appraiser, and the title professional.  With this in mind, there are five things every realtor and mortgage lender  must know  about insurance. This is not about making you an expert on insurance, but rather about enhancing the process of selling and buying a home. 1) It is imperative that the insurance agent  talk directly to the client . There are certain conversations that the agent needs to have with the ...

Credit: www.capecodhrg.com  Please be advised of some  major changes in the insurance world. Waiting until the last minute to set up insurance is never a good idea, even in the best of times. However, because of recent changes in the insurance marketplace , please advise your clients to begin the insurance process  i mmediately after the house goes under contract. ·       Several carriers have suspended operations across entire states . ·       Other carriers are tightening their underwriting standards and adding additional binding requirements. ·       These things are  prolonging the insurance process. ·       Please take this into account when scheduling the closing process. I would advise you to  plan for the process to take a few extra days. If you or your clients have established relationships with insura...

What Do I Do If My Insurance Company Leaves My State?

By Doug Newman A forest fire in Colorado and hurricane damage in Florida. (Photo credits below.) Like all industries, the insurance industry is in a constant state of flux. And over the last few years, economic trends and natural disasters have sent things into overdrive. Hurricanes in coastal areas from Texas to North Carolina, as well as fires in Colorado, California, and other states, have caused several carriers to either suspend or severely restrict new sales in several states. In Colorado, where I live, hailstorms have been a major contributor to this trend. The good news is that you can still get insurance. However, there are five very important things you need to know.   Find a good professional agent with whom to discuss your specific situation and who can make specific individual recommendations . NEVER leave this to the whims of a cell phone app or a call center. Preferably find an independent broker who can shop multiple carriers. Know that your new insurance...
