THE TALE OF TWO HOMEOWNERS.
How much does the fine print really matter?
Ask the Smiths.
The Smiths and the Johnsons buy homes with the same square footage on the same block in a new development. Their risks are the same, but their insurance policies are quite different.
- LAWSUIT PROTECTION
- LOSS OF USE COVERAGE
- REPLACEMENT COST COVERAGE*
- SEWAGE AND WATER BACKUP
The Smiths bought the cheapest insurance policy they could find.
The Johnsons paid a $230/year more for a more robust policy.
When the Smith’s basement flooded, their insurance policy didn’t cover the damage, so they had to pay for the repairs themselves.
When their HOA was sued, they were hit with a hefty assessment, and they had to pay for it out of pocket.
In the first year, the Smiths had to pay $5,672 in out-of-pocket costs, in addition to the cost of their insurance.
After talking with the Johnsons, the Smiths realized they could have saved thousands
of dollars if they hadn’t gone with the cheapest policy!

covered the loss. They were also hit with the same hefty HOA

We all know that a yacht costs more than a drift boat. A mansion costs more than a tiny home. And yes, robust homeowners insurance costs more than a bare-bones policy that might not provide coverage when you need it most.
