PLEASE -PLEASE-PLEASE when considering Insurance, no matter what kind, DO consider price but also consider the SERVICE! Remember, you only get what you pay for!

A co may wave "low rates" in front of you, but what happens when you have a claim and report it and they'll " get around to it"
Is the $ 20.00 a year you save worth the aggravation and frustration???
Look at the airline industry. Everybody wants cheap fares. You get cheap fares, but you have to beg for a bottle of water on a 3 hour flight, you go to Philadelphia but your luggage goes to Providence?
So, look beyond just the rates. Please!

There are several independent agents to look at but some big names would be American Family, State Farm, Allstate, Farm Bureau, Famers. You should get on the net and fill out some leads at their web sites.

When we first bought insurance on our first home, we did not have a clue what we were getting or paying for. Once I got into insurance, I learned that we were paying a cheap price, but we had terrible coverage. Fire and Wind coverage only, the office neglected to explain that to us.

If you have any friends or family in insurance, sit down with them and at least let them explain what you should be looking for and who to see if they themselves cannot offer you something.

We are paying about twice the first cost for insurance, but our home is covered for almost anything that could happen to it. Find an agent that is wiling to sit with you and listen to your needs and concerns so that they can better assist you.

You should also look into mortgage insurance (life insurance) now that you are a home owner!

Travelers gave us the best rate

1st. you should see who offers the best rates. Companies like Travelers, Safeco, Farmers, Firemen's Fund.
2nd. you should know which companies handel claims good. Companies like Traveles, Farmers.

First, go to your car insurance agent. Many companies give discounts if you insure both your cars and your home with them. Second, Make sure that you get a policy that has replacement cost. A $200,000 house usually cost more than $230,000 to rebuild.

For example, company A will insure your $200,000 house and will save you $75 - $100 per year on the premium but if it burns down all you get is $200,000. Company B has replacement cost on the dwelling so they'll pay the $230,000 to rebuild your home. Most people don't know this and get very unhappy when they can't afford the extra $30,000 to replace their home.

You'll need to go to a local, independent agent to get a few quotes. They'll be able to match you up. Not all carriers write in all states, and not all carriers that are cheap in one state, will be cheap in all states - it varies wildly.

The location of the house, and your credit history, also heavily affect the rates. But if you're in the city proper, expect to pay about $400 for $100,000 of coverage, roughly, if you've got great credit, and the house is less than 40 years old.

You may want to try a website that compares multiple companies at once to get you the best price. I am paying less than ½ after I did.

Take care,
