Homeowners Insurance

At heart, homeowners insurance is about protecting your home, your possessions, the buildings on the land around your home, and protecting you from lawsuits and other forms of liability exposure. 


Homeowners Insurance Basics

Whether you own or rent, insuring the place you call home can help protect you financially if you suffer a loss due to fire, theft, vandalism, or other covered events. It will also cover you in the event someone is injured while on your property.

Homeowners insurance policies differ by which losses are covered, which coverages you choose, and what type of residence you own. You choose which policy is best for you, whether it’s a comprehensive policy that covers losses such as fire, hail, smoke, falling objects, vandalism and theft of personal property, or whether it’s a policy that covers only specified losses.  At Elder, we always recommend the broader coverages that protect against as many risks as possible, and only write more limited policies in very specific instances.

Remember, we cover your home for what it would cost to rebuild, not what someone might pay for it. AKA Replacement Cost vs. Market Value.
