NEVER discuss your insurance rates on social media



“Marge and I pay $183 a month for full coverage on 2 cars. Is that too much?”

And off it goes: a dozen other people chime in with what they pay.

These numbers are the most meaningless numbers on earth.

Here are just a few things that determine what you pay for car insurance:

  • ·         What kind of cars do you drive?
  • ·         What is your driving record as well as that of other people in the house?
  • ·         What are your deductibles?
  • ·         What are your liability limits?
  • ·         What are your uninsured/underinsured limits?
  • ·         Is your policy bundled with a home or a renter’s policy?
  • ·         What is your zip code?
  • ·         Do you have any drivers under the age of 25 in the house?
  •        Do you drive for Uber, Lyft, Doordash, or any similar service?
  • ·         And potentially several other issues.

Oh, and there is no such thing as “full coverage”.

Have a REAL professional conversation not only about what you are paying for insurance, but what will your insurance company pay you should you ever be in a serious, life-interrupting accident. Talk directly with an industry professional.

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 ...

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...

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...
