🏡 Homeowners Insurance Basics: Protect Your Home with First Resource Insurance Group
Your home is more than just a building—it’s where life happens. At First Resource Insurance Group, we understand how important it is to protect what matters most. That’s why we’re here to break down the essentials of homeowners insurance and help you find the right coverage for your needs.
🔍 What Is Homeowners Insurance?
Homeowners insurance is a policy that protects your home, personal belongings, and liability risks. It’s designed to cover unexpected events like fire, theft, vandalism, and certain natural disasters. Most mortgage lenders require homeowners insurance, but even if yours doesn’t, it’s a smart investment in peace of mind.
🛡️ What Does It Cover?
A standard homeowners insurance policy includes:
Dwelling Coverage: Repairs or rebuilds your home if it’s damaged by a covered peril.
Personal Property Coverage: Replaces belongings like furniture, electronics, and clothing.
Liability Protection: Covers legal expenses if someone is injured on your property.
Additional Living Expenses (ALE): Pays for temporary housing if your home becomes uninhabitable.
