Protect Yourself, Your Home, and Your Property

Your home is your sanctuary. It’s a dependable shelter that keeps you and your family safe, and it’s the place where memories are made. For most people, a house represents the biggest financial and emotional investment they’ll ever make. With the right Property Insurance plan, you can protect your investment and your personal property from whatever life throws your way.

Every Home Insurance policy is different, and at Ed Poe Agency, we’ll work with you to make sure that your policy fits the needs of yourself and your family. Property Insurance may insure your home from the following types of damage:

• Fire and Lightning
• Collisions from Vehicles or Aircraft
• Hail
• Sewer/Drain Backup
• Windstorm
• Vandalism
• Volcanic Eruption
• Smoke
• Freezing Conditions or Snow

There are many additional coverage types that are available to safeguard your home and belongings, and it’s important to talk with a representative from Ed Poe Agency who can help you find the right policy.

Options such as Personal Property Insurance and Flood or Earthquake Insurance may not fall under a standard Homeowners policy. In the event of an accident or theft, Personal Property can pay the actual cash value (ACV) or replacement cost of personal content items or articles like furniture, appliances, and clothing.

Other items that may be included are Builder’s Risk while your home is being built or reconstructed, and insurance for damage to pertinent/detached structures.

Another important feature to consider in your Homeowners policy is Dwelling Replacement Coverage. If a fire or other accident leaves your home a “total loss,” this coverage provides for the cost of replacing your home at its current value, rebuilding to code, and Ordinance & Law.

As is the case with many other features of Home Insurance, additional coverage can vary greatly depending on your policy, which is why it’s important to discuss your individual insurance options with Ed Poe Agency before making a decision.

Accidents can happen, even at home. If someone were to claim an injury on your property, there’s no stopping them from affecting your finances, your house, or anything else you own that can be labeled as compensation. As the property owner, you could be held fully responsible for injuries to others that occur due to hazardous conditions such as poor lighting, floor hazards, or falls resulting from snow or ice.

With a Homeowners Liability policy from Ed Poe Agency, you can ensure the security of your finances and the safety of your family in the event of an accident. For serious injuries, including casualties, you may be responsible for paying large medical bills and even court costs if you are sued. This policy works to protect you in a variety of situations, including:

• Claims for property damage
• Claims for injury to others (either on or off the premises)
• Liability defense costs
• Medical expenses for injuries to other

Having the proper Homeowners Liability Insurance for your home will prepare you for future accidents and help preserve your hard-earned assets and finances. Talk with a representative from Ed Poe Agency to determine the right amount of coverage to keep you protected today.

If you rent an apartment, house, condo, or even a dorm room, you may not think you need insurance. But in the event that fire, theft, or vandalism damages your property, it’s unlikely that your landlord will pay to replace your belongings.

At Ed Poe Agency, we know that you’ve most likely invested a lot of time and money in your personal property, and it’s up to you to take care of it. Having a Renters Insurance, or Tenants Insurance, policy can pay for the cost of replacing your belongings if they are damaged due to a covered accident, or if they’re stolen.

Depending on your policy, your insurance will pay to replace items using one of two methods: Actual Cash Value (ACV) or Replacement Cost. With ACV coverage, your belongings are insured only for the amount in which they are currently worth, while Replacement Cost will pay for the expense of replacing the items with brand new ones.

Also included in your Renters Insurance is Liability Coverage to safeguard yourself from injury claims that occur in your home. If someone gets hurt on your property, your insurance can pay the related medical payments and expenses, and provide for the cost of legal support if you are sued.

In the event that a fire or other damage makes your residence uninhabitable and places you in a “loss of use” situation, your Renters Insurance may temporarily reimburse you for the cost of another residence in which to live.

Representatives from Ed Poe Agency are committed to working with you to design a policy that ensures you get the options you want at a price you can afford.
