Shopping around could score you a better home insurance rate
Home insurance premiums are on the rise — some homeowners have seen their costs increase by as much as $276 in the last year. As natural disasters and extreme weather events become more frequent, the risk to insurers continues to grow. And the greater the risk an insurance company takes on, the higher your premium is likely to be.
One way to potentially lower your costs is by shopping around and comparing providers in your area. You may be able to find coverage that better fits your needs at a more affordable price. Just click below, answer a few quick questions and we’ll see if we can find you a better deal.
