Some insurance companies are not writing policies in Texas for the remainder of 2023.
Why it matters: If you’re considering changing insurance, your alternatives are shrinking.
🔦 Pro Spotlight
Aaron Husman with The Phoenix Insurance explains that insurance companies only write policies until they reach a limit.
- The limit is determined by the amount of insurance they buy — “reinsurance” is insurance for the insurance companies.
⚠️ Be careful when you’re shopping.
- If your policy has ACV (Actual Cash Value) coverage for your roof, replacement is much more costly.
- A roof payment schedule is another form of ACV. In other words, it’s more expensive to replace the roof.
✅ For your Smart Homeowner list
- Shopping insurance with a broker who can write policies for multiple companies will give you the most options.
- Hint: An ACV roof policy with a low deductible might make sense for the first 5 years or so after getting a new roof. Your risk of replacement is lower and the ACV amount should be close to the RCV (Replacement Cost Value) amount.
