Home Insurance Quotes - At Prices You Haven’t Seen in Ten Years
Post on May 15th 2008
Prices for everything, it seems, just keep going up and up. But there's a little secret in the home insurance industry that can cut the cost of your homeowner's premium by around 30%, a secret that your broker is terrified you'll find out about. And I'm going to spill the beans!
But before I do, I want to talk about a few other strategies that you can also use that can save you even more each and every month.
One of the most basic things you should do immediately - if you haven't already done so - is to set up a monthly auto pay for your premium. Paying your premium automatically directly from your bank account every month saves your company the rather hefty expense of printing and mailing a bill to you and they'll gladly reward you by cutting your monthly premium.
Most homeowner policies come with a standard $500 deductible and most people never think twice about it. But unless you make a lot of small claims against your carrier - something most people don't do - you can save a whole lot of money simply by doubling your deductible to $1,000.
If there is a retired person living in your home you should let your agent know as this could reduce the cost of your premium each month. Why? Because having someone in the home most of the time reduces the chances of a waterline break going unnoticed or of a fire getting out of hand.
Did you know that you can save on your premium simply by installing motion-sensitive floodlights on your property? Adding deadbolts to every exterior door and making certain that every single window has a working lock can also save you money.
Installing a kitchen-rated fire extinguisher in your kitchen will also save you money.
So what is this Big Secret that your insurance broker is so nervous that you'll find out about? It turns out that the easiest thing you can do will save you the most money - and it will save you money instantly!
Buy your policy online.
It sounds too simple to be true, but it's not. Online brokers have no overhead that they need to pay for and so that allows them to sell policies at wholesale prices every day of the week and still show a profit. Not only that, because there is a tremendous amount of competition online every online broker is forced to cut prices even FURTHER just to stay competitive.
The result is, YOU come out on top. For once you're the clear winner!
There's another advantage to buying your homeowner's insurance online and that is there's no broker sitting across the table from you selling you more and more coverage that you don't really need and can't really afford. Wouldn't it be nice to get away from that for a change? Now you can.
Even though I've spent months researching online insurance companies I don't want you to take my word for anything. I want you to get online and see for yourself just how much you can save. The savings are instant and they continue month after month and year after year, exactly as if you had stepped back in time to the mid 1990s!
