Homeowners Insurance
A good homeowner’s insurance or renter’s insurance policy brings peace of mind from knowing you'll have help in the event your home is ever damaged. The sites in this section explain how homeowner’s insurance works, how to select the right coverage for your needs, and how to file an insurance claim should something happen to your home.
Dulcinea's Insight
- To find insurance companies in your area, try an online directory like YellowPages.com or simply type "homeowner’s insurance" and the name of your state into a search engine.
- Don’t forget to check the legitimacy and record of an insurance company before you buy a policy. You can do this with just a few clicks at the Better Business Bureau Web site.
- Your state insurance department can also help you select an insurance company. Advanced Education Solutions has published the contact information for the insurance departments in each state, and the District of Columbia.
- The more familiar you are with your insurance policy, the better off you'll be in the event you ever need to file a claim. If there's something you don't understand on your policy, check with your agent or review the company's Web site to see if your questions are answered there.
