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!

I was very happy to stumble upon Goosehead Insurance. I had been shopping around and almost pulled the trigger on another quote, but glad I made the effort to check with James. He was very helpful, took time to explain things (which for me was great as I tend to get into the details a bit), and helped me figure out the best coverage for me and my family. Ultimately made the change and look forward to working with him in the future if necessary.
Timothy J., 2/4/2021 10:27:59 AM
Great communication
Richard B., 2/1/2021 11:01:14 AM
James took time to walk me through all of the coverage options, answer all my questions, and weigh the pros and cons of savings vs coverages. Particularly, he spent a lot of time helping us understand the coverage options for our roof, which will be our biggest home expense in the next few years. He clearly laid out a short-term vs long-term savings options allowing us to either save $500 a year (and getting little less money when the roof has to be replaced) vs saving a little each year but getting more roof coverage. That allowed my wife and I to make the best financial choice for our family.

James Cole was very responsive and asked the right questions to custom fit a policy to best fit my needs. I will refer him to friends and real estate clients that are seeking insurance.
