Get Insurance As Soon As You Have A Contract

A couple of years ago, a buyer could have waited until fairly close to the settlement to get an insurance, and not had any problem. Since then, world events and a few environmental issues have hit the insurance industry hard. It is now becoming increasingly difficult to get homeowner's insurance, and if a buyer waits to look for insurance, they may not have it in time for settlement. If a buyer has a loan, settlement will be delayed until they are able to get homeowner's coverage.
