Wind Mitigation means DISCOUNT!
By Darr Schackow Insurance Agency on 2/19/2010 9:23 AM
Most people don't have any idea what a wind mitigation form/survey is used for.  We try to educate our clients on the form because it saves them money which means a happy client for us!  A wind mitigation survey MAY save you hundreds, if not, thousands of dollars on your home insurance.  It usually costs about $75-$100 for the survey to be completed by a licensed contractor.  It gives the insurance company information regarding how the home will perform in a storm.  We submit the form to your insurance carrier and they apply any discounts.  It is just that easy! 

If your home is built before 1996, and your house has some of the features necessary, then you could be in for nice savings.

Call our office today to find out names of contractors that can complete the survey.

Sinkhole coverage is an option...
By Darr Schackow Insurance Agency on 2/17/2010 10:28 PM
The state of the economy is causing insurance companies to remove coverage that is very important.  Some of the companies we represent are removing the sinkhole coverage at the renewal which is decreasing the premium of their home insurance.  That sounds good to some folks that are having trouble paying their bills.  At the same time, the company is raising the base rates of insurance.  The renewal premium then is roughly the same as last year, only WITHOUT the sinkhole coverage.  It is important for you to work with your agent to review coverage on a regular basis.  You may be receiving a call from your agent to discuss these changes.
