Pricing

What affects your home insurance rate

Every company weighs these factors differently. That's why the same coverage can cost very different amounts from one provider to the next.

Questions

Home insurance FAQ

How much dwelling coverage do I need?

Enough to rebuild your home from the ground up at today's labor and material costs. That number can be higher or lower than your purchase price.

Does home insurance cover floods or earthquakes?

Usually not. Both require separate policies or endorsements.

When do I need a policy if I'm buying?

Your lender will require proof of coverage before closing. Start shopping as soon as you have an accepted offer.

Do you also compare renters and condo insurance?

Yes. Choose "I rent" or "Condo" in the quote form and we'll match you accordingly.
