When evaluating home insurance policies, don't just consider the rate. As your life changes, so should your insurance. This could be new items you have in your home, changes to your home value, new HOA rules, and new structures added such as a shed. Take a look at your documents, you might be surprised you are under-insured.

Whether it's services lines, appliances, or even the food in your freezer, start with an annual evaluation and a conversation with your local agent. The best way to make sure you are properly protected is to speak with a professional.

We’ve written a short guide on some of the topics you should discuss with your agent when it comes to your home. By the way, annual reviews is just one of the benefits of being a Cross Insurance Agency customer.

If you’re lucky enough to be the recipient of an expensive gift this holiday season, you may wonder if you need to insure that product.

While your existing home or renters insurance policy already includes a certain amount of coverage for personal property, some items like jewelry and collectibles should have their line of coverage called an endorsement or floater.

Collectibles that you should consider insuring can include:

📚 Comic books
🧸 Rare toys
🖼 Stamp collections
🔫 Fi****ms
🎴 Sportscards
👞 Collectible sneakers

Most of the companies we represent allow these items to be scheduled right on your home or renters insurance policy. Call an agent today to see if you should add an endorsement for your special item.

From October to December wildlife are seen more on the roads, especially deer. With more sightings and darker roadways due to the shorter days, this means that there is an increased chance of hitting a deer while on the road. Here are a few tips to stay safe:
➡ Be extra cautious at dusk and dawn when animals are the most active.
➡ While it is natural to swerve if an animal jumps out in front of you, always hit the brakes and stay in your lane.

A common question is if you are covered if there is an accident with or caused by an animal. Comprehensive insurance covers your vehicle when you make contact with an animal while driving. However, if swerve and strike a tree then you could be covered by collision insurance. Because every insurance carrier is different, their claims department will handle it with the coverage they feel is most fitting to the situation.

With the cold weather comes the potential for water lines to break.

According to local sprinkler experts, when water freezes in your sprinkler pipes it will expand, potentially breaking the pipe, joints, fittings, or valves. This is especially true if the water lines aren't buried below the soil frost line. At a minimum, be sure to turn off the water mainline to your irrigation system and insulate the backflow device.

Performing winterization on your sprinkler system will prevent serious water line breaks during the coldest months, protecting your home and keeping your yard in tip-top shape for the Spring.
