A home is more than its sale price
Replacement cost and market value measure different things. For an older home, describe original woodwork, plaster, custom finishes, roof materials and major renovations. Share recent updates to heating, electrical and plumbing systems so the review reflects the home you have today.
Make water concerns part of the review
Flood and water or sewer backup are different coverage questions. Describe a finished basement, sump pump and previous water problems. Ask Carly to explain the policy’s terms and any available options rather than assuming every source of water is treated the same.
Condo, rental or seasonal property?
Tell us who lives at the property and how it is used. For a condo, have the association’s insurance information available. For a rental, mention the number of units, tenants and any short-term rental use. These details help the agency ask the right follow-up questions.
Include what is important inside
Mention jewelry, collections and other belongings you want reviewed, along with liability concerns such as a pool or rental activity. A home and umbrella review can happen together. Specific limits and eligibility will need to be confirmed.
