Homeowners Ready to Learn More About Policy Coverage

It’s surprising how many homeowners aren’t sure what their insurance actually covers. Did you know nearly 40% of US homeowners mistakenly think their policy protects them from certain weather damage? Even more concerning, 20% ended up paying out of pocket for repairs, and half have recently had to cover repairs often going into debt. I see this uncertainty come up often as I help people buy and sell homes in Columbia, SC. Even for those who keep an eye on weather alerts, most feel unprepared when something happens, and very few take the time to review their policies each year. When making such an important investment, understanding your coverage is key so you’re not caught off guard down the road.
