I am so happy for you, Bernadette! Not many of us get to live in our dream house and I bet that you will have a lot of fun decorating it and adding your personal touch.
I am also happy that you want to be informed on the issue of home insurance because many people who are not fully informed of the ins and outs of home insurances end up not maximizing the benefits such policies can bring.
Home insurance policy has different types of coverage, and it may vary from state to state. You may want to ask some local insurance agents in Washington for the types of coverage available for you; or you may also do so online by entering the zip code of your property in Everett Washington WA in the space provided on this page.
The most basic would be those that insure against fire or lightning. A variety of this kind would include loss or damages due to natural calamities such as earthquake, hurricane or flood. You may also include insuring other structures located in your property but is not adjacent to your home such as a detached garage. You can also insure your personal belongings or the contents of your home against the perils of natural calamities mentioned above. You may also include in your policy a clause that will cover for additional living expenses you might incur when a claim is being made – this is called loss of use. Personal liability protection covers property damages brought about by you or your loved ones. Medical payments will pay for injuries sustained inside your premises, say during a construction.
Remember, Bernadette, that you need to know what type of coverage you wish for and be sure to read thoroughly the offers made to you.
