Frequently Asked Questions
 
Q: Why do I need that much insurance on my home? I could not sell it for that amount.
A: The amount of insurance on your home is based upon the replacement value, not the market value.
 
Q: How much liability insurance do I need?
A: Each family’s needs are different. A family needs to calculate their financial risk then purchase an amount of liability insurance to cover that risk.
 
Q: What perils am I covered for on my homeowner’s insurance?
A: If you have a Homeowners-3 (HO-3) policy, you have “allrisk” coverage on the dwelling and “named peril” coverage on all the contents.
 
Q: I lost my ring, do I have coverage?
A: No. There is no coverage for loss of a ring unless you have a separate rider that schedules the ring. An appraisal is required to schedule an item such as jewelry.

 
Our Mission Statement: We recognize and understand that our insurance client is our greatest asset. As a result we are committed to providing our clients with the best service possible. Our clients do not purchase insurance from a company; they purchase it from another person, someone they trust, who has their best interest at heart. We firmly believe that “honesty is still the best policy.”
