Finding affordable home insurance
Clearly there's a need for home insurance, but the question is how do you find the most affordable policy without leaving behind important coverages. Take a look at using a Home Insurance Broker.

Recently Insurance Brokers Group was able to find a home located in Missouri with over 2,400 sq. ft., two fireplaces a policy with a major insurance carrier for less than $300 a year...a third of what the homeowner was paying before. Take advantage of this free service provided exclusively by insurance brokers, and see if you can lower your home insurance premium and mortgage payment.
Quick Tips for lowering your current homeowners insurance premium
Take a look at your deductible and decide if you can afford to raise it $500 or more. Don't file unnecessary claims or claims that come close to your deductible, i.e. $1,000 deductible and $1,200 claim. Those small claims can add up fast over the course of 3-5 years which means you may be faced with a cancelation or large rate increases at your next renewal. Call a contractor to get bids or estimates before deciding to file a claim or if you have a trust broker, ask their opinion to see if it makes sense to file a claim. Remember when you contact the insurance company directly the first question is going to be "what's your policy number?" Once you give that information, regardless if a claim is paid or not, you now have an incident listed which may impact your ability to shop for lower rates. Insurance companies share data with other carriers, specifically any filed or paid claims.
Why you need a home insurance broker
Home insurance brokers can be a trusted insurance advisor for generations since they are able to move you from company to company at anytime in the event your current homeowners policy excessively raises your rates. Having the peace of mind that home insurance brokers are looking out for you long-term, not just a quick sale. Or as we like to say, home insurance brokers "build" relationships.
