Insure What Truly Matters

Insure What Truly Matters

Almost everything can be insured.

When you insure what truly matters, you protect your wealth and peace of mind. From homes to hobbies, insurance options exist for nearly everything. Your primary residence, vehicles, boats, art, and jewelry can all be covered. Even high-net-worth individuals often overlook optional protections like umbrella liability policies. Visit Lemonade or Progressive to explore customized coverage.

Understand your existing policies.

Many assume their current coverage is sufficient. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Standard policies often exclude items like backup sewer damage or lost collectibles. Schedule a review with your agent annually. Also, explore high-value item riders and additional coverage options via Chubb or Allstate.

Know what’s truly covered.

Policy language can be dense and confusing. Therefore, many people focus on price and skip the fine print. This shortcut can prove costly. Ask specific questions about what’s excluded. Understand if you’re covered for flood, earthquake, or mold damage. Use FEMA Flood Maps to assess flood risk zones.

Add riders for complete protection.

Certain valuables, like silverware, guns, and art, need riders to ensure full reimbursement. Without one, standard limits might fall far short. If you own rare collectibles or luxury items, catalog them. Then, request proper documentation and appraisals. Sites like Jewelers Mutual offer item-specific insurance.

Protect yourself beyond liability.

Umbrella policies offer added security in extreme scenarios. For example, a $1 million umbrella policy can be relatively inexpensive. This coverage becomes essential for public figures, business owners, or landlords.

Investigate property risk with CLUE®.

Before buying a home, review its insurance history. Order a C.L.U.E.® Report via LexisNexis. It reveals past insurance claims on the property. You’ll learn if previous water damage or structural issues occurred—critical details before closing on a high-value property.

Don’t skip due diligence.

Ultimately, when you insure what truly matters, you shield your lifestyle and investments. Include a C.L.U.E.® contingency in your purchase offer. Talk openly with your insurer. Full protection starts with asking better questions.
