Work with a Comparion Insurance agent on protecting your home.
Do I need home insurance?
Home insurance protects you from a potentially large financial loss resulting from your primary residence experiencing damage from wind, water, fire, or theft. Even if your state doesn't require you to carry home insurance, for most people it's the only way to rebuild if you experience damage to your home, including the total loss of your home. Home insurance is likely required by your bank as a condition of your mortgage.
Home insurance can also provide coverage for legal actions, such as the cost of paying for bodily injury to others or damage to their property.
Our agents will guide you through the process, sharing their expertise to ensure you have the right coverage for your residence.
