How Home Insurance Helps Protect Your Home

Your home may be the most valuable investment you ever make. Don’t risk its security by leaving it exposed to risk. Make sure you understand the benefits of suitable home insurance.

What Is Home Insurance?

A typical home insurance policy has various coverages designed to protect your home and assets financially. These may vary by plan, but could include the following, among others:

• Dwelling coverage can help you repair or replace your home’s structure.

• Contents coverage can help pay for damage or theft of personal belongings in the home.

• Other structures coverage can help cover detached property, such as garages or sheds.

• Personal liability coverage can help pay for injuries or damages you’re responsible for, such as a guest slipping in your home.

The right home insurance for your circumstances can be unique, especially if you have a high-value property or live in a high-risk area. For instance, coverage for flooding must often be obtained separately. Discuss your options with a licensed agent from Choice Insurance Agency to ensure you have what you need.

Why Does It Matter?

Home insurance can help prevent financial ruin if your home experiences severe damage. Without insurance, you’d need to pay for repairs out of pocket. Should the worst happen and your home must be completely rebuilt after an event, the cost could be insurmountable without home insurance.

Additionally, home insurance can help protect your assets beyond the physical structure of the dwelling. Liability coverage can help with guest slips, dog bites or if a child damages a neighbor’s property. Contents coverage can help pay for your possessions if they’re stolen or damaged.

Who Needs It?

All homeowners should consider home insurance. If you have a mortgage, your lender likely requires certain levels of coverage until the loan is paid off. Homeowners associations may have similar requirements.
