I’m proud to have helped over 200 people start their own multi-line insurance agency. I am now retired and living the beach life in NC. I still do some part-time consulting and teaching; contact me if you need help.
The “official” Hurricane Season begins June 1. Here are some tips on how to prepare. Also, to make your potential claims easier to process, I suggest that you do the following: 1. Talk to your Homeowner Agent about flood insurance. Flood is NOT covered in your Homeowner Policy and many Hurricanes bring a storm surge that could cause serious damage. And don’t think that if your house isn’t on the ocean that you’re safe. Almost as much damage will be done by water rising in rivers and creeks. Let your Agent help you assess the potential risk 2. Make sure that you’re carrying enough dwelling insurance. Most other coverages are based on the dwelling amount so even if your home isn’t totally destroyed, the interior damage could be above your coverage amount. 3. Take interior and exterior photos of your home. Stand in the middle of each room and take 4 photos, facing in each direction. Same with your home. All sides of the home should be photographed as well as pitches and decks. Store the photos on a thumb drive or in the Cloud. https://lnkd.in/edfhuPjg
