Yesterday I posted an article from Houselogic.com in regards to Homeowners Insurance.
I am sure that if you read it you had questions or an AHA moment thinking that you need to do or should have done some of what the author had talked about.
Performing a check up of your insurance situation is a great idea. You may be surprised at what you find or at the amount of money you save by doing this.
I will admit I am not one for change, if it’s not broke don’t fix it, was the mentality I had for a while.
Then a great friend started working with a local Insurance Agency and asked for my business. I intended to get the info on my current coverage to her asap, but life got in the way & I failed at that. Until the day I opened my renewal notice from my previous agent. My premium had increased by $300.00 for homeowners alone. And I had no claims. I also had multi-lines with this company, which meant my vehicles were covered as well.
Immediately I pulled the declaration pages and sent them to Teresa Capps, an agent with Indiana Farm Bureau. She reviewed my coverage and made recommendations that would ensure I was adequately covered.
In then end I paid less per month and had better coverage than what I previously had. What stands out about Teresa and the service she offers is the fact that she contacts me to let me know that there is an across the board rate increase that affects all policy holders, or the fact that once I hit that magical age, my premium was going to go down. She reviews her clients accounts and does what she can to make sure we have the best coverage at the best available price.
I know this is because she actually cares about what she does & the people she helps. I can honestly say the only communication I ever had from my previous agent was when I made contact in regards to adding/dropping a vehicle, or when I changed from a Renters Policy to a Homeowners Policy.
So if you think it is time for a check up on your Homeowners, Auto or Life contact Teresa Capps at Indiana Farm Bureau, by phone 317-786-3400 or email
And as always, if you or anyone you know of is looking to buy, build or sell, I would love to be of assistance.
