Home Insurance Explainer

Everything you need to know about protecting your home

Home insurance is one of the biggest investments you'll make to protect your property and belongings. Whether you're a first-time homeowner or shopping for better coverage, understanding how home insurance works helps you make smarter decisions and avoid overpaying.

At its core, home insurance protects your house's structure (called dwelling coverage), your personal belongings, and shields you from liability if someone gets hurt on your property. Your mortgage lender typically requires proof of insurance before you close, and they'll want to make sure your coverage amount is enough to rebuild your home if disaster strikes. But here's what most people don't realize: your home's market value and its rebuild cost are usually very different numbers.

The key to getting the right coverage is understanding what you actually need versus what insurance companies try to sell you. Start by figuring out your home's replacement cost—not what you paid for it or what it's worth today, but what it would cost to rebuild from the ground up using current materials and labor rates in your area. Then consider your belongings, your deductible (how much you'll pay out-of-pocket before insurance kicks in), and any extra coverage you might need for things like floods, earthquakes, or expensive jewelry.

Questions?

Common questions about home insurance

How is this different from getting a quote directly from an insurance company?+

Instead of visiting multiple insurance websites separately, we compare quotes from many companies at once and show you the best options. Plus, you can talk to a real person anytime to get questions answered or help choosing the right coverage.

Can you help with my mortgage company's insurance requirements?+

Absolutely. We'll send proof of insurance directly to your lender, make sure all the required information is included, and remind you before renewal so your coverage never lapses.

What if I'm renovating or just built my home?+

We'll help you figure out the right coverage amount based on your recent improvements and current building costs in your area. Bring renovation receipts or builder invoices and we'll make sure your coverage reflects what you've invested.

Does home insurance cover floods?+

Standard home insurance doesn't cover flooding from storms or rising water. If you live in a flood-prone area, we can help you get separate flood coverage and explain whether it's required by your lender.
