Here is an excerpt from a new blog post at GreggMarcus.com:
When a homeowner first purchases his or her home, one of the primary
concerns that come to mind is a newly acquired mortgage plan and how to
go about obtaining homeowner’s insurance to go along with it. Although
quite necessary, homeowner’s insurance can be quite overwhelming at
first—especially when first purchasing a home. In this article, Long Island Insurance Executive Gregg S. Marcus intends to give some tips on how to get a discount on your homeowner’s insurance.
One of the simplest ways to obtain a discount on your homeowner’s
insurance is to increase the safety of your home. If an insurance
carrier sees that you are taking safety precautions, they will lower
your homeowner’s insurance knowing that you are less at risk for damages
of the home and estate. Installing safety devices makes it clear to
your insurance provider that you and your home are less vulnerable to
theft, fire, flood, and other disasters. As a result, your insurance
payments will be lowered because you are less at risk for incidents that
would require coverage. Also, in addition to receiving a discount for
installing safety devices, you will also increase the overall worth of
your home when you one day decide to sell it. So either way, it is a
win-win situation.
