Homeowners and Renters Insurance

Your homeowners insurance is a hard-working policy. It’s a package policy that combines many different important coverages – both property protection and liability insurance.

As in many areas of insurance, you should make sure you have the right type and amount of protection, not just the least expensive policy available.

At Sellers & Co., we represent several highly rated homeowners insurance carriers and can help you determine which of these carriers offers protection best suited to your needs.

What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover?

• Your Home & Attached Structures Dwelling Coverage (Coverage A)
  • You should purchase coverage in an amount sufficient to replace your home and attached structures (garage) in the event of a total loss. This is not the same as your home’s market value.
• Detached Structures Other Structures (Coverage B)
  • Such as a detached garage or shed.
• Personal Belongings Personal Property (Coverage C)
  • Includes all contents of your home such as furniture, rugs, electronics, and clothing.
  • Some types of possessions (such as silverware, jewelry, furs, or guns) may be excluded from coverage or have a limited amount of coverage. You can generally add coverage for specific collections.
• Living Expenses as a result of a loss Loss of Use (Coverage D)
  • This pays for reasonable living expenses if you cannot live in your home because of a covered loss, such as a fire, up to your policy’s limit for this coverage.
• Liability (Coverage E)
  • This is a critically important part of your policy that provides you with a legal defense against a liability claim, and then covers (up to the policy limit) a judgment against you or a settlement that is covered by the policy.
• Medical Bills for Someone Injured At Your Home Medical Payments (Coverage F)
  • This is a no-fault coverage that pays medical bills for someone injured at your home or for an injury caused by a member of your household.
• Other Optional Coverages and Enhancements Available
  • You can further customize your homeowners policy to your specific needs by adding coverage enhancements and options that provide extra coverage.

Don’t Forget About Renters / Condominium Insurance!

If you rent your home or apartment, you need renters insurance.

Renters insurance will cover your personal belongings in case of a covered loss, such as a fire or theft. (Imagine the cost to you if you had to replace your belongings without insurance!)

It also protects you in case someone claims that you are responsible for certain types of personal injury, such as a slip and fall in your apartment. We’ve helped many people, including many resident physicians, obtain this important coverage.
