Did you know that your homeowners insurance policy alone may not be enough to protect certain valuables? While homeowners insurance does cover your belongings, these policies have limits \u2014 meaning items valued beyond the limits of your policy may not be fully covered in the event of a claim. Luckily, there are a few options for homeowners to ensure their valuables are protected in the event of the unexpected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understand Your Insurance Policy<\/b><\/p>\n

The first step in making sure your valuables are protected is to understand your insurance policy. Knowing what\u2019s covered and how much coverage you have will help alleviate much of the stress that can come from unexpected situations, such as a fire or theft. If you don\u2019t understand the specifics of your policy, you can always contact your <\/span>independent insurance agent<\/span><\/a> to clarify these details. <\/span><\/p>\n

Conduct A Home Inventory<\/b><\/p>\n

Do you have a good idea of all the items in your home? If not, it might be time to make a home inventory. When making a home inventory, make sure to check every room in your home \u2014\u00a0including closets, attics, basements, and garages. Compile as much detail as possible and include any receipts you may have. Consider taking photos or videos to make this process even easier. Once you\u2019ve completely audited your entire home, you can then determine which items may need additional insurance coverage or even an appraisal. <\/span><\/p>\n

Know The Value Of Your Possessions<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible that some of your valuables may be worth much more than you think. If you\u2019re unsure if additional coverage is needed, consider getting your items appraised. An appraiser can provide insight into the value of your items to help you determine whether or not you need additional insurance coverage. Remember, items can change in value over time, so it\u2019s important to get them re-appraised periodically to determine if you may need additional coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Connect With An Insurance Agent<\/b><\/p>\n

Valuable items may require an additional insurance endorsement in order to be fully protected in case of a loss, and your <\/span>independent insurance agent<\/span><\/a> is there to help! Your insurance agent can help you identify items which may need additional coverage, and can then find the right endorsement to protect them. <\/span><\/p>\n
