Will My Home Insurance Rate Change Next Year?

A couple of weeks ago, I was having coffee with a retired couple in a Dallas Starbucks reviewing the home insurance quotes I’d prepared for them. They’d been referred to me by a friend who was concerned they were paying too much for home insurance. They were asking questions about the quotes we’d reviewed and the explanation I’d given for the coverage. The wife asked me one final question which was, would the home insurance premium increase next year?

Factors That Impact Commercial Car & Truck Insurance Rates

I’ve had the pleasure of working with a number of Dallas / Fort Worth area business owners with their commercial car and truck insurance. We’ve written cars, pickup trucks, cherry pickers, and even cement mixers. It’s always interesting to determine what insurance company will provide the best coverage and the best rate.

The States with the Best and Worst Drivers

Which state has the worst drivers in America and what other states comprised the top 10 list? Conversely, which states have the best drivers in the county? A study published in December of 2013 answered these questions in their best and worst drivers list.

Home Insurance and Demolition Cost

Every home insurance quote begins in a conversation with the home owner or buyer. I take the time to understand how the home is finished out such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, type of floor coverings, roof type, etc. This information is then entered into the replacement cost system for each insurance company we work with which in turn generates a home’s replacement cost value.

Drowning Prevention for Your Kids

Two seconds. That’s how long it takes for a child to drown. One Mississippi, two Mississippi and your life could be changed forever. Even if you don’t have a swimming pool, chances are you and your child(ren) will visit someone who does or you’ll join friends and family for an outing on a lake, river or at the ocean this summer.

Two Questions about Teens and Car Insurance

A client sent me an email two weeks ago that turned into an enjoyable “conversation” over a series of email messages. My client has a teen daughter that’s about to get her learner’s permit and she wanted to know when she should add her daughter to her car insurance policy.

The Most Dangerous Driving Days for Teen Drivers

Memorial Day weekend starts in a couple of days marking the end of the school year and the beginning of summer. Most teens are thinking about freedom, summer vacation, maybe a job, or some other activity for the next couple of months.

Home Insurance, Property Taxes, & House Payments

I’ve received calls from two different clients over the past two weeks. Each was about the same thing; they’d received a notice from their mortgage company notifying them of a deficit in their escrow account. They had the option of paying the escrow shortage or it could be factored into their already increased monthly home mortgage payment. Sheri and I also received the same notice a few weeks earlier.

Car Insurance and Uninsured Motorist Claims

A client called me a couple of weeks ago. He’d been rear-ended by another person who said he had car insurance, but he didn’t. Their car insurance had been cancelled due to non-payment which meant my client had to file a car insurance claim on his policy where someone else was clearly at fault. This type of claim is referred to as an uninsured motorist claim.

Home Insurance, Jewelry and Schedule Items

I received a text message from one of our car insurance clients last week. Her car had been broken into and a ring was missing. She wanted to know if the loss of the ring was covered by her car insurance. It’s not; whenever an item that is not a part of the car is stolen from a car, it’s considered a home insurance claim…
