I was dismayed at how much money I was spending on my homeowners insurance, as I am sure many others are as well. Recently I read about insurance mitigation. This is something I had never heard about, so I looked into it a bit. Basically, many of us are paying way too much for our insurance and just don’t know it, as I was.
If your roof was put on after 1994, you qualify for a discount. If you have adequate hurricane shutters you qualify for a discount. There are many other factors that qualify you for a substantial discount as well.
Recently, I hired Jay Schwartz, President of Coast To Coast Home Services, Inc. to perform a Mitigation Inspection on three of my properties located in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale areas. The inspection cost $150.00 per property, and Jay guarantees that if you do not get a minimum $150.00 reduction in your insurance premium he will refund you your fee, so there is no risk.
All three of my properties qualified. I simply emailed the report to my insurance agent, who then forwarded it to my insurance company. Within approximately 60 days, I got checks from all three companies. Each check was for an amount between $500.00 and $600.00. The savings is even greater than that because the premium will now be that much less annually, saving me literally thousands of dollars over the time I will own the properties.
I found Jay’s company to be very reliable. They showed up at the appointed meeting time (rare these days), and were professional and easy to work with.
If you have own a property, I would encourage you to contact Jay to see if he can help you. After all, what have you got to lose?
