Episode 4: First time home buyers. The things you didn’t know your insurance agent might ask.

Sep 18, 2019 | By: Pat Brough

Are you a first time home buyer and don't know what an insurance agent is going to ask?

This episode features Patrick Brough and JoAnne Finck. JoAnne has been conducting first time home buyers' seminars for years. She reviews what you should think about when looking for a local agent and some of the things many don't  think about when in the process of buying a new home. What is knob and tube wiring, what does it matter if I own a dog, why is the coverage limit way more than what I paid for the house. A lot of topics that are great for a first time homeowner.

This episode's edition of "That's Not True" answers the question "my friends house was completely destroyed and they had everything replaced with new stuff and they didn't have to pay anything". Learn about Replacement Cost for contents versus Actual Cash Value coverage.
