How does one shop for homeowners insurance? What are the variables? What do we look for?

Homeowners insurance is simple but don't just shop price. You need to make sure you've got an A rated company and that you've got a replacement cost policy. Replacement cost means that the insurance company insures the home for the amount that it would cost to complete rebuild it. It is not unusual for the replacement cost to be much higher than the value of the home. You also want replacement cost for the contents. That way you get the cost to replace an item, not the depreciated value. You want to get at least $300,000 in liability, maybe more depending upon your situation.

After you've made sure of the replacement cost you can then compare premium. Most companies will give you a discount if you also insure your cars with them, so you may want to contact your current auto insurance company or get a quote that includes your cars.

No doubt the easiest way to get insurance quotes is on the web.
Why would you waste your time on the phone calling around?
the last time i needed quotes on insurance i used one of these comparison sites and it was great.
this is the site i used and it was quick like less than 5 mins.
The last thing I want to do is listen to elevator music while waiting for a salesman.
Anyway I got good quotes and ended up saving money so I was happy.
So shop around and compare quotes which is easy on the net.
Good starting point is at this site.

I'd have to disagree with your first answerer. With homeowners insurance, replacement value insurance is MUCH more expensive than the "basic" coverage (which will give you a depreciated value on your home and contents), so it may not be the right coverage for you. I'd get quotes on "regular" homeowners insurance as well as replacement value, and decide what your budget can afford. You have to decide if you can afford to cover some of your expenses out of your own pocket. It's better to have some insurance than no insurance at all; so, if you can't afford replacement value insurance, it's not going to work for you.

Keep in mind that if you have a large dog, you could be looking at higher premiums. That's because home or rental insurance is not just about the place you live and its contents; it's also about personal liability insurance that will cover you if someone is hurt or killed in or on your property or rental.

Definitely look for a financially stable company. However, also look for a company that has a good track record of customer service. Both are important. It's no good to have a financially stable company that likes to reject claims and cause you problems before they pay.

Well, the policies are pretty standard in most states, and there are TONS of variables - so *I* recommend shopping for the AGENT FIRST. A good agent will take the time to explain coverages and options (variables), go over the policy to make sure you've got adequate coverage, and be available to answer questions and help you with claims even AFTER you buy the policy from them.

The BIGGEST thing, I recommend an AM Best A rated carrier or stronger. Besides that, the agent matters MORE than the company.
