Have You Been Plugging the Gaps in Your Florida Home Owner Insurance?

Protecting your home from the little nasties Mother Nature and good ol' Murphy like to throw your way is a little more complicated than signing on the dotted line. Even after the disaster that was Hurricane Katrina thousands of home owners across the US are still blissfully oblivious about what their Florida home owner insurance does and , more importantly, doesn't cover. It's up to you to make sure you're filling in the gaps.

What? Your Homeowners Insurance Doesn't Protect YOU From Identity Theft?

Identity theft. It's the boogeyman everyone pulls out of the closet when they're talking about the dangers of doing business online…or placing a credit card number over the phone…or losing a social security card. For over 10 million Americans, identity theft isn't some faceless shadow. It's a reality that they have to live with every single day. The good news is, your homeowners insurance is there to back you up.

Save Your House From Pets, Pests and Mother Nature with Additional Homeowners Insurance Coverage

Tra la la la la. One day you're rolling down the street like nothing happened, the next your home is in smithereens and you're gearing up for a new start. Hey, that's just how Mother Nature rolls. If you're going to be able to roll with her, you might want to put some serious though into picking up some additional homeowners insurance.

What Does Home Insurance Have To Do With My Shoes?

There's nothing like a $300 pair of Jimmy Choos or $600 Gucci loafers to make your feet feel like a million bucks. You might even say it's a great investment in your future! After all, didn't someone say that the shoes make the man? For some people, shoes like that are a once in a lifetime investment, but it's considered fairly uncouth to go digging through the hall closet for a pair of shoes when your house is burning down around your ears. What would you do if your favorite Dolce & Gabbana boots were trapped in the inferno?

That's why you have home insurance.
