01

Start with the date the coverage must begin

Coordinate the expected closing and occupancy dates with the lender, closing team and licensed producer.

02

Confirm how the home will be used

Primary residence, seasonal use, renting, vacancy and business activity can lead to different questions.

03

Gather property details from reliable records

Construction, roof, systems, renovations, safety features and prior loss information may be requested. Correct inaccuracies rather than guessing.

04

Ask what is outside the base policy

Flood, earth movement, sewer or drain backup, valuable items and local hazards may require separate discussion.
