Your HOA’s insurance will ONLY PARTIALLY cover your condo or townhouse

Credit: co.kent.de.us 


Contrary to a common belief, your homeowners’ association’s (HOA’s) insurance policy will only partially cover losses to your condo or townhome.

HOA policies vary, but they will typically only pay “walls out” or “paint out”. You, the homeowner, are responsible for the rest. What does this mean to you?

  • Damage or theft to your belongings.
  • Your liability should someone be injured on your property or, God forbid, you are accused of starting a fire.
  • Loss-of-use should you be put out of your condo or townhouse due to, for example, a fire or a bursting pipe. This coverage can pay for rent on a temporary residence and other incidentals. (You will still be responsible for your mortgage.)
  • Loss assessment should your HOA assess individual homeowners to pay the costs of a claim. Please read this story!
  • Sewer water backup.
  • Other potential exposures.

Bundling your condo or townhouse policy with your auto policy will almost always result in savings on premium.

  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 client. Just like the realtor

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.

However, I am always here to help. And please take  2 minutes  to read about  five things every real

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 pol
