How to Protect Your Property and Cover Your Assets
Property insurance is necessary for those who own their homes or condos as well as those who rent. Your home is one of your biggest assets and should be protected from unforeseen events. If you rent your home or condo, your landlord’s policy likely only covers your building but not your personal belongings.
You need coverage that is designed to fit your lifestyle and keep your home and/or personal belongings protected. Not only do we provide the ultimate protection for your home and your assets, which allows you to feel secure, we also provide that same level of protection for your mortgage company in the event of a disaster.

Whether you own or rent a home or condo, there are insurance policies available to provide the protection you need. Insurance covers property across these major categories:
- Home/condo
- Vacation homes
- Renters
- Personal property
Coverage across these categories includes a variety of items and scenarios:
- For your personal possessions such as clothing, furniture, appliances and electronics.

- For medical payments if anyone becomes injured while at your home.
- Against perils such as fire, theft, vandalism, hail and windstorm.
- For detached garages, workshops or yard barns.
Optional coverages that can be added to your homeowners policies include:
