\"July<\/a><\/p>\n

Selling your home can be a stressful process, especially when it doesn’t move quickly.\u00a0\u00a0With a new job looming, you may have no choice but to leave the home vacant for a short time until it sells.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The problem?\u00a0\u00a0Vacant homes fall under different insurance rules and can leave you at risk.\u00a0\u00a0Homes are typically considered vacant when the utilities are shut off and\/or furniture has been removed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Insurance companies view a vacant home as a higher risk.\u00a0\u00a0There are more opportunities for vandalism and no one living there to protect the home from fire or storm damage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So what should you do when moving?<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First you need to talk to your insurance agent and get the details on your policy.\u00a0\u00a0Since policies vary by state and insurance company, there is no single right answer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Explain the situation to your agent.\u00a0\u00a0Ask what coverage is included and what is excluded (specifically for vandalism). \u00a0And find out what changes can be made to protect your home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Selling a home doesn’t always follow a quick timeline.\u00a0\u00a0If you’re facing the possibility of leaving your home vacant, contact us first \u00a0and find out how to best protect yourself and your property.<\/p>\n
