Something I learned about insurance when you are moving

Here's what I learned recently about insurance while moving.

My client sold his house near Denver and moved to the Phoenix area. The moving company wanted $400 to insure his property while it was in transit. I wanted for him not to have to pay this money.

 

1) Both his current carrier and his new carrier where I placed him said that unfortunately, he would need to pay this as neither would cover property while in the custody of the moving company.

2) He should either keep his old policy until he arrived in Arizona or start his new policy when he left Colorado – he would be a few days in transit – in order to cover the belongings in his car.

 

To learn more, please call me.

On a great team,  every player has a role and must strive for perfection in executing the duties associated with that role.

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 ...

Important Insurance Update for Realtors and Mortgage Lenders

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...
