Homeowner’s Insurance
Although there are different policies for homeowners and tenants (renters) and even condominium owners, in the U.S. there are standardized basic forms that insurance companies must use for most homeowner’s insurance (with the exception of Texas, which still makes state unique forms available, too.) This makes comparing coverage offers from different insurance companies somewhat easier if you know which coverage forms they are quoting and what limits/deductibles they include. You also need to know if they have any special endorsements restricting or broadening coverage. For homeowners, policies that include your home and personal property come in three flavors – basic, broad, and special. All three are “package” policies including property coverage and liability coverage. The big difference is in the property coverage.
