For most people, real estate is their biggest asset. Whether it is your primary residence or rented out for extra income, it is important to protect your biggest investment. Most homeowners or renters can’t afford to rebuild or replace their home if it is damaged or destroyed by natural disasters like fires, earthquakes, floods, or hail. House insurance not only provides coverage for the dwelling, it also covers replacing personal property, liability if someone is injured on the premises, and additional living expenses if you have to rent another place temporarily. Insurance gives us peace of mind, knowing that in a worst-case scenario, we can pay for somewhere to live and replace our belongings until we can rebuild or rent another home.
