Time To Review Your Home Owner’s Insurance Policy

evanjohnson — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:35:18 +0000

What do you know about your Homeowner’s Insurance Policy? Have you evaluated it recently? If not, it is a good idea to review it every six months to ensure that your coverage is as expected. Obviously, the best time to review your policy is prior to a crisis situation. So take some time out of your busy schedule and spend a few minutes today going over the details in your insurance policy.

You should contact your insurance agent if you have questions or need to make a few adjustments. He or she should be able to answer your questions. If you don’t feel comfortable with your agent or question whether or not he or she are providing you with the best policy for your situation, please contact us for a reference. You may find that a change could save you money both short-term and long-term.

Some helpful questions:

Ask – Can I qualify for a premium reduction by installing smoke detectors, alarms, new locks or doors, or improved roofing material? Do I qualify for a preferred customer or senior/student discount? What is really covered by my insurance? Ask about the phrase “acts of God” and the interpretation of the insurance company.

Discover – What is insured, the actual home or only the land under it? Is land value part of my policy amount and if so, why? Did I opt for replacement value or actual cash value in your home coverage and does that still apply?

Discuss – Are my valuables and heirlooms in need special coverage? Would a higher deductible result in a significant reduction in my premium? Should I get earthquake or flood damage insurance?

Asking these questions now and periodically in the future will give you peace of mind and give you the knowledge you will need should you ever encounter a crisis with your home. It is a good idea to place a copy of your homeowner’s policy in a place away from your home, as well, in case just such an accident does occur.

Art17 Opening for Dylan Davis

Art17 Opening for Dylan Davis

Thursday, September 22 * 6:00pm-9:00pm

Coldwell Banker Dupont
1606 17th St NW
Washington, DC 20009

Please join us for a celebration of Dylan’s new works! Wine and cheese reception. Guests will have the opportunity to win one of Dylan’s new paintings.

About Dylan:

Dylan Davis was born in Evergreen, Colorado, and began to develop a taste and skill for the arts at a young age. His formal study began during his junior and senior years of high school while attending the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, where he gained artistic inspiration and found intellectual freedom. Consequently, Dylan began the first of many commissions the summer following his completion of boarding school. He continued his art study at the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art degree in 2005. Upon graduation, he spent two years in New York City prior to moving Washington, DC.

The art selected for dylanFINEarts.com embodies a new form with a focus on allowing the medium to control the image as much as the brush. The dramatic figures express an unknown direction. The paintings are not meant to be dark, but rather state situations through the artist’s eyes.

Figurative imagery, along with experimentation with material are taking Dylan’s art in new directions, allowing him draw not only from his ideal image but from the complexity of the process. While art is often expressed only through a rigid idealism, the process behind these works are instead dictated by what was ultimately created. The freedom gained by letting the medium dictate the direction has been an exhilarating experience with each day bringing new excitement as paint meets canvas.
