Why you need home insurance
01Protection from financial loss
Natural disasters, fire, theft or vandalism can cause severe damage to your home. Home insurance helps cover the costs of repair or rebuilding, protecting you from significant financial loss.
02Liability coverage
If someone gets injured on your property, you might be held liable. Home insurance provides liability coverage, saving you from potential legal complications.
03Fulfill your mortgage requirement
Most mortgage lenders require home insurance to protect their investment. Keep yourself protected — and your mortgage lender happy.
04Peace of mind
Know your most valuable asset is protected in case of unexpected events. Focus on making your house a home, not worrying about the what if’s.
