Quick Quote
Information
A Quick Quote is a fast way at
looking at the cost of insurance BEFORE either looking at a house or
signing the contract. We want to save all the parties to a potential
closing both time and money. Lower rates may be available with other
insurers as Citizens is to be your last resort company. By
law their rates must be 10% higher than others writing in your zip
code.
Know info about the house.
Know the claim history both Flood and Hazard as the seller has access to
this information. This it to be your most expensive purchase and the
more you know about a house before you buy just might reduce unbeknown
expenses after! For the avid reader who wants to know more ask the
listing or selling agent to complete a Checklist. See link for
printing it under Publications & Links.
Other companies may use your
credit scores, claim history of seller's house and buyer, age of roof and
type of roofing material, any updates, zip code or territory
restrictions such as being too close to the Gulf or large bodies of
water. Each company has their own eligiblilty rules.
The Dwelling 1 may not be
acceptable to your lender as they may require a replacement type policy
and this policy is Actual Cash Value but a Dwelling 3 does offer it.
See Definition for the type of policies that can be used. Today,
with the high cost of insurance, I tell my clients you buy what you can
afford, not what you would prefer! Read what is on the lender's
requirement as to insurance BEFORE you sign to borrow the
money.
The lender will provide you
with the "escrow window" which is the most that can be allowed yearly for
your first year of insurance. This is based upon many factors that they
arrive at during their review of your income and expenses. Also the lender
can tell you your credit scores as an agent may ask that when choosing
which company could have the lowest rates.
