Three Questions to Ask When Buying Home Insurance

Here at The Shay Agency in Wilkes-Barre, PA, we want to help all potential customers get the right insurance for their situation. Asking the right questions helps to ensure that the policy you buy fully covers your needs.

Here are three important questions to ask when you are looking to buy a new home insurance policy. 

How Much Coverage Do I Need

When you are looking to purchase a new home insurance policy, always ask an agent how much coverage you need. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is thinking you need to purchase a policy based on the value of your home. This may or may not be enough coverage. An insurance agent can sit down with you and determine how much coverage you need. 

What is Covered By the Insurance Policy?

Another key question to ask is what is covered by the insurance policy. Different policies offer different coverage. Always ask what is covered by the policy to help to ensure that everything within your home is covered in the event of various incidents. 

What Supplemental Policies Do You Recommend I Buy?

Lastly, be sure to ask an insurance agent what supplemental insurance policies they recommend you purchase when buying home insurance. Supplemental policies may include policies such as flood insurance. Flooding is not covered under a home insurance policy, so a supplemental policy is a must to ensure you are properly protected. An agent can help you determine what supplemental policies you need.
