One of the easiest ways to receive a discount is to bundle insurances. Many carriers will offer this benefit, helping you extend your savings and get the most out of your coverage. While it’s common for people to bundle home and auto insurance, there are likely other coverages you currently have or need that can be with the same carrier, providing the opportunity for multi-policy discounts.

Before you can get a quote for a homeowner’s insurance policy, you will need to provide some information. Providing as much accurate information as possible will help to ensure the most accurate quote.

Here is a list of some of the personal information you may be asked to provide when getting a quote for home insurance:

• Your full legal name
• Your date of birth
• Your current occupation
• Your marital status
• Your previous address
• Information about any pets you have (if you have dogs, you’ll need to disclose their breeds)
• If you have items such as a trampoline or pool (in-ground or above ground)

You’ll also need to provide information about the home you’re buying the policy for, including such things as:

• The address of the property
• When the house was built
• The size of the house
• Building materials used to construct it
• Information about the roof, such as its age and the materials used
• Any recent upgrades that may have been added, such as a recent kitchen remodel, new water heater or HVAC system, or room addition
• The appliances and other amenities in the home
• The value of the personal belongings you keep (or plan to keep) in the home
• Insurance appraisals
• The lender requirements (if you’re financing the purchase of the property)
• Inspection reports

While most insurers require similar information, there may be some differences here and there. With The Future Insurance, you only need to enter your information once to receive quotes from multiple carriers. Having all of the above information ready to go ahead of time will help to save a lot of time and avoid frustration.
