Three Key Benefits of Homeowners Insurance in Pennsylvania

Saucon Insurance Agency clients sometimes ask if they really need homeowners insurance. Often this comes up when people realize that Pennsylvania doesn’t require home owners to buy insurance.

While it’s true that the state won’t make you buy homeowner’s insurance, your bank or mortgage lender may require it. Even after you’ve paid off your mortgage Saucon Insurance Agency strongly recommends you keep your insurance up-to-date. Here’s why:

1) Homeowners insurance protects your equity. You can use that equity for retirement, to buy a larger home or to pay for your children’s education among other uses. Why put it at risk due to property damage or an accident on your premises?

2) Homeowners insurance shields you from legal damages. Accidents happen and when they do people tend to sue. Homeowners insurance helps cover any liabilities you have. It can also simplify the legal process for you if the insurance company handles negotiations with a plaintiff.

3) Homeowners insurance provides some coverage away from home. If you have riders protecting certain valuables, like jewelry, your coverage stays in force even if the items are lost while you are away from the Bethlehem, PA area. And if your family includes students living away from home, the insurance company will cover property kept in a college or apartment.

4) Homeowners insurance provides flexible coverage. Saucon Insurance Agency can help you find home coverage that fits your needs. We can guide you through the complex riders and clauses that make up a policy to make sure your unique coverage needs are met and you don’t pay for any insurance that you don’t need.
