Spring has sprung and so much has happened lately there's no doubt change is in the air.

Last week we had a full solar eclipse, a comet pass close to the earth and a crazy storm! 

I don't know if it was a named storm but she sure was angry as all get out - thunder and lightning, torrential rains, and tossing out tornadoes left and right.

What does this have to do with Insurance?

Everything!

If you haven't reviewed your insurance policies wouldn't now be a good time to do so?

Springtime brings people out of the house, gardening, landscaping, cleaning and otherwise beautifying their home and yard. After the wildfires of last year, please practice outdoor fire safety stay up to date on burn bans in the area.

Hurricane season is fast approaching. Are you prepared? Do you know what your homeowner policy does and does not cover? What about your automobile or flood policies? Are you familiar with Binding Restrictions and when/why they go in effect?

Along with longer days we have kids going to prom and school is ending soon so watch out for those young drivers! Especially those in Driver's Ed or newly licensed. AND beware of the folks using e-bikes for transportation.

Kids will be kids so pay close attention in neighborhoods and country roads where they may be driving a cart or operating/riding an ATV. Boats are out and about on our local waterways. Is yours properly insured?

Summer is right around the corner and with it vacation and travel plans. Is your RV, Motorhome or Camper properly insured? If you're taking a trip abroad, have you renewed your passport and/or purchased travel insurance?

Are you turning 65 this summer? Have you gotten your Medicare insurance in place? Don't call the number on a television ad and be careful to avoid the Medicare scams out there. Why not, shop local and contact our experienced, knowledgeable Medicare agent? 

Just a few reminders of what's important over the next few months.

Until next time, take care and get out and enjoy the beautiful weather as often as you can!

That their child is growing up fills parents with ​a mixture of pride and trepidation. True, having an extra driver in the home helps when it comes to extracurricular activities and quick trips to the grocery store, but the worry and fear of them on the road are real.

So, what are some things parents can do to prepare for their teen getting a driver's license?

  As we move into the second month of 2020, there are so many things to consider when thinking about your insurance.

  We're going to take a moment and direct you back to some of our most important and most informative posts throughout the past couple of years.

It’s that time of year again…time when the kids are going back to school. And time when many young drivers will be out on the road, driving to class or extra-curricular activities. Perhaps even an after-school job.
​
As adults, we’re used to road rules and know where everything is in our vehicles should we need to access them quickly. But our teenage and young-adult children aren’t. So, we’ve compiled a short list of things to do and check to provide a safe and confident environment for inexperienced drivers.

Over the last year or so we’ve done posts on insuring your home, mobile home and even a vacant home. We’ve discussed binding restrictions and scheduled personal property as well as policy deductibles, endorsements and possible discounts.

One thing we haven’t discussed is a Builder’s Risk and/or Builder’s Risk Renovations policy.

If you’ve been talking to a bank or mortgage company about financing the construction of your home, you may have been told you’ll need a Builder’s Risk policy and wondered what in the world that is.

We’re here to help!

If you’ve ever needed to make a change to your insurance policy or done research into adding coverage, you may have heard the terms Rider and/or Endorsement and wondered, What is the Difference?

In this post we’ll explain and hopefully you’ll feel better informed when it comes to your insurance policies.

As we move into a brand new year, many people take this time to reevaluate their lives and set goals for the upcoming twelve months. When compiling information and creating your lists of things to do, check, and repair or replace, add Review Insurance to your list.

Here are some things to consider when you schedule an appointment with your insurance agent and/or financial advisor.....
