BUYING A HOME IN SEPTEMBER? DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE.
Let me explain.
September is historically the peak of hurricane season, and waiting until the last minute to secure your homeowners insurance could put your closing date at risk.
When a named storm threatens Florida, insurance companies may temporarily stop binding new policies in affected areas — sometimes well before the storm reaches Florida.
That means you could have your lender ready, your title work complete and your closing scheduled… but no ability to bind the insurance you need to close.
I've seen closings get pushed back because buyers waited too long.
If you're under contract, don't wait until the week of closing to handle your homeowners insurance.
