Don’t you think it’s about time that we get a little relief from property insurance costs? Here are a couple of ideas that might help you:
Florida has set up a new state-sponsored program that can help you identify how you can strengthen your home and reduce hurricane damage. You can get a FREE wind inspection that could also help you save up to 20 percent on your homeowner’s insurance. You also might be eligible for up to $5,000 in matching grant funds to make improvements recommended by the inspection!
To apply for the free inspection, visit www.MyFreeWindInspection.com or call 866-354-4040. Insurance carriers are going to start making us pay for these inspections in the future, and they’re free now and good for five years, so you might want to take advantage, and perhaps save some money in the process.
The homeowner’s insurance rates with your existing company could be going up. But insurance rates are DROPPING in the area with many carriers. This might be a good time for you to get several more quotes. (And, don’t just use the big names. Some of them have the worst rates.)
I’ve gotten great feedback on prices from some clients who have used Florida Chartered Insurance Group. (I don’t have any business relationship with them for recommending them, but am just passing this along for you to check out.)
Agent Camille Gentles can be reached at 321-832-0390. When you call, be sure to tell her the address of the property, the use of the home (primary or secondary home), the square footage, garage (attached or detached and number of cars), number of stories, year built, and whether it has a pool.
Hope that helps! Drop me a note if you end up saving some money with any of these plans, and please share any companies that have good prices so I can pass that info along.
