Your New (Or Soon To Be New) Mortgage

Profile picture for Roger Wyatt

Just like property taxes have become commonly rolled into an escrow account and made part of a mortgage payment, so have homeowner's insurance payments. Every lender requires that you have homeowner's insurance in place. But that doesn't mean that your mortgage company has to determine your insurance!

We can help you find the right protection at the best rate for your new home. All you have to do is get us involved early.  With your permission, we can process everything so much faster when the closing date comes. Keep in mind that deadlines are always tight in the mortgage business.

There is more to buying house insurance that simply comparing the price. Some polices cover well while others do not. The fine print can seriously affect what the policy does NOT cover you for.

You may want to check the different insurance policies to see if they really are covering you or not. This is bad news for those who think they are covered but may not be.

"Home-insurance policies are pretty much the same, and carriers compete on the basis of price and service—right?

Believe those two myths and you might wind up paying dearly."

"Homeowner policies have important differences that can affect whether claims are paid, according to a study scheduled to be published early next year in the University of Chicago Law Review. The problem is that those differences are poorly understood. "

"Some of the biggest insurers "employ policy language that is systematically less generous than that provided" in the standard ISO policy, Mr. Schwarcz writes. "
