Homeowners Insurance
You may not think about searching for homeowners insurance while shopping for a home. But, if you select an insurance agency and begin working with them while shopping for a home, you can thwart potential problems early.

You should begin looking for homeowners insurance early in the process of buying a home. One reason is that you will want to make sure that there are not any issues that could prevent you from being able to obtain homeowners insurance, such as a bad roof.
There are also circumstances that could cause the process to take longer than usual. For instance, we have dealt with homes that have previously had sinkhole repairs. These homes are insurable, but the documentation required and review by the insurer is more extensive and may cause delays if not started early.
