- State Farm is the # 1 auto, fire, and individual life insurance provider in the US. They have twice as many customers as their competitor. They offer over 100 products so it can be a one stop shop. They have agents who have skin in the game so they care and customer service is the top priority. Insurance coverage is never apples to apples. For example, State Farm offers permissions on their auto insurance (many companies have a cap) so if their price is a little higher then this may be why. If you have to pay a little more for peace of mind then do it. We all pay in excess of $ 100 for our cell phone and television bills for the month. Why would not you pay over $ 100 to insure your brand new Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan, Acura, Honda, Dodge, Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover, etc?
- State Farm is the best. My agent really cares about my family and our finances. When my son started driving, my agent took time to show him a video about texting and driving and the consequences that this had on other young people. Very powerful video. She also offered rewards to my son for driving safely. This is just one of the many things they have done. They will always have my business.
- Can not really be touched, in my opinion. My agent, Matthew Yack, has helped me understand what I really need for my insurance. State Farm was also great on my claim when I wrecked my brand new truck in the first week.
- Had my collector car damaged by one of the beautiful darlings this Spring, They were having fun with rocks. Smashed out the back window and chipped the paint. State Farm was there, like a good neighbor, as they say. Thanks State Farm!
Unless the cause of loss is excluded in the policy, a homeowners policy provides coverage for personal liability, medical payments to others, and accidental direct physical loss to your dwelling.
In addition, the policy provides coverage for your personal property for specific perils including, but not limited to:
- Fire
- Lightning
- Windstorm
- Hail
- Theft
State Farm defines dwelling as a home and any structures attached to it. This may include:
- Porches and patios
- Attached garages
- Decks
Yes. In addition to your dwelling, State Farm covers other detached structures located on your property that are separated by clear space from the dwelling. The basic policy covers other structures at 10% of your dwelling coverage.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Detached garages
- Equipment sheds
- Barns
- Guest cottages
The insurance coverage amount is your choice. We recommend that you purchase coverage equal to or greater than the estimated replacement cost of your home. Your home’s estimated replacement cost also determines which policy options are available to you.
Since it’s impossible to predict the cost to replace your home in the future, it’s important to have enough coverage to account for unforeseen circumstances.
Market value is the amount a buyer would pay for the home and land in its current condition. It is influenced by factors such as proximity to good schools, local crime statistics, and the availability of similar homes.
Replacement cost is the cost to replace the entire home. When you insure your home for its estimated replacement value, your insurer will reimburse you for the cost of rebuilding your home, subject to policy limitations, based on the size and structure of the home that was lost.
Replacement cost is not:
- The market value of the home
- The home’s purchase price
- The cost of the land
- The outstanding amount of any mortgage
