Kinda OT, but Bluechip is dead on about the Homeowners Insurance Claims.
'Bout 2 years ago, we were shopping for a house in the country. Found one we liked and put a contract on it, settlement in Nov. Our insurance agent (20+ years) calls and tells us they "might not" be able to insure it. Seems the owners had made two claims against their insurance company, One for a leak at a roof valley (10K+) and one when the washer hose broke (3K).
She told us that most companies won't insure a house which has had a substantial claim in the past two years.
Fourtunately, the two year period ended in Oct. There was a contract on the property before, but the buyers couldn't get insurance.
Since then, I have re-activated my RE license, and have found that alot of companies are using this approach.
Welcome to the computer age, where your (or your houses) life history is only a keystroke away.
BTW, my homeowners insurance covers the replacement cost for the Tractor & implements (added about $100.00/yr to the premium).
