HOMEOWNER INSURANCE
Water Coverages Explained
Four different types of water coverage may or may not be part of your home insurance policy. Let’s look at how they could help better protect you and your family from financial burden due to various causes of water damage to your home.

SPECIALTY INSURANCE
Umbrella Insurance 101
Umbrella insurance goes beyond your normal limits of liability to protect you and your family in the event of a sudden and serious situation. Relatively cheap, umbrella policies can offer additional coverage for things like injuries to others, legal fees and litigation, excessive property damage, and other personal liability situations.

HOMEOWNER INSURANCE
Homeowners Insurance 101
You found a property you love, you managed to save a down payment, and you got approved by a lender. Now you need to find a homeowners insurance policy that meets your needs, but how do you know if a policy is the right one for you?

AUTO INSURANCE
Auto Insurance 101
Most states require you to carry auto insurance. But how do you know if you have enough? A basic understanding will equip you with the knowledge you need to make smarter decisions when selecting your auto insurance policy. Let’s get started!
