Insurance Tip: What "named storm deductible" means
Ever notice your homeowners policy has a different deductible for a hurricane than for everything else? That's your named storm deductible — and it usually works differently than your regular deductible.

Instead of a flat dollar amount, it's often a percentage of your home's insured value. So on a $300,000 home with a 2% named storm deductible, that's $6,000 out of pocket before coverage kicks in — not the $1,000 or $2,500 you might be used to.

It's one of those details that's easy to miss until you actually need it. Not sure what yours is? We're happy to pull it up for you.

Review your emergency plan.
Store important documents safely.
Check flashlights and batteries.
Refresh your emergency kit.
Save important insurance contact information.

Preparation brings peace of mind.

The lowest premium doesn't always provide the protection you expect.

Consider:
✔️ Deductibles
✔️ Water damage coverage
✔️ Liability limits
✔️ Replacement cost
✔️ Endorsements

Understanding your policy is just as important as the price you pay.

🏊 Pool Safety: Protect Your Family & Your Home
A backyard pool is one of the best parts of living in Florida—but it's also an important responsibility.
Many insurance companies encourage or require certain safety features before providing homeowners coverage for homes with pools.
Here are a few of the most common safety measures:
🚪 Self-closing, self-latching gates to help prevent unsupervised access.
🔒 Door alarms or pool alarms that alert you if someone enters the pool area.
👶 Child safety fences with self-latching gates around the pool.
🛟 Rescue equipment such as a life ring or shepherd's hook nearby.
🏠 Pool covers can provide an added layer of protection when the pool isn't in use.

Whether you're installing a new pool or already have one, it's a great idea to review your homeowners policy to understand your coverage and discuss any available discounts.
📞 Our team is happy to answer your questions and help you review your options.
Stay safe, enjoy your pool, and make this summer one to remember!

📱 Vacation Photos Can Invite More Than Likes
Vacation season isn't over yet! 🌴✈️
Before you post those beautiful beach photos while you're away, remember that social media can unintentionally let others know your home is sitting empty.
Here are a few simple ways to help protect your home while you're traveling:
🏖️ Wait until you return home to post vacation photos.
📬 Ask a trusted neighbor to collect your mail.
💡 Put interior lights on timers.
🚪 Double-check that doors and windows are locked before you leave.
🚨 If you have a centrally monitored fire and burglar alarm system, be sure it's activated while you're away.
Did you know? Many homeowners insurance companies offer premium discounts for homes with centrally monitored alarm systems for fire and theft. While discounts vary by carrier and policy, it's worth asking if you may qualify.
Protecting your home isn't just about insurance—it's about smart habits, too.
Have a wonderful and safe vacation! ☀️
