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.

Get your quote, choose your coverage and get everything lined up EARLY.

REALTORS & LENDERS — SEPTEMBER IS ALMOST HERE!

September is historically one of Florida’s most active months for hurricanes, and this is the time to pay close attention to insurance when you have upcoming closings.

One thing I want everyone to understand: there is no specific hurricane cone that automatically determines when insurance companies stop writing business. Carriers are becoming increasingly cautious, and many will suspend new policies or binding authority whenever there is a potential threat to Florida — sometimes well before we know exactly where a storm is headed.

During the last storm that skirted the Florida Panhandle, Citizens shut down binding for approximately a week, and I personally watched 4 closings get pushed back because insurance could not be bound.

If you have closings coming up, especially heading into September, make sure to pay close attention to the possibility of storms.

A few extra days of preparation now could be the difference between closing on time or having to postpone.

PSA: Lenders, Realtors, title, etc. due to wildfires we’ve already had a couple companies shutdown for binding in Bartow. Make sure to give time if you have an upcoming closing. Get that insurance bound.
