Home, Auto and Commercial Insurance is written
by Asiatic Insurance Brokers.
Whether you own or rent your home and whether
that home is a house, apartment or a condominium, I have an
insurance policy designed to suit your needs. The three common
types of home insurance are Homeowner's Package policies, Tenant's
Package policies, and Condominium Owner's package policies.
Home
Owner Policy
This policy is designed for people who own a house.
A Homeowner's policy is appropriate whether your house
is detached, semi-detached, linked, a row or townhouse,
or a mobile home.
In order to select the amount of Dwelling/Building
coverage you need to purchase for your house you need
to determine the Estimated Replacement Cost of your
house. For most houses, your broker is able to determine
the Estimated Replacement Cost of your house through
the use of industry standard calculations which take
into consideration the age, size, construction, and
features of the house. For unusual or high value houses,
an appraisal may have to be completed to determine the
house's Estimated Replacement Value. Most insurance
companies will insist that the amount of Building coverage
on your policy is equal to 100% of the house's Estimated
Replacement Value.
Tenant
Policy
This policy is designed for you if you do not own the house,
condominium, or apartment in which you live. The tenant's
Package Policy does not insure the structure you live in since
the building is insured by your landlord. However, your landlord
does not insure your personal property. A Tenant's Package
provides insurance for your home's contents and provides personal
liability protection.
To select the proper amount of content's coverage you require
a Tenant's Package to provide, you should take an inventory
of your possessions, and try to determine the replacement
value of your property. Remember that all your possessions
including clothing, furniture, and appliances, etcetera are
part of the contents of your home. The price of your insurance
policy is based primarily on the value if the contents you
need to insure, as well as the type of building in which you
live. (Insurance for contents in apartments made of fire resistant
building materials is lower than for the contents of a house
of wood frame construction.)
Condominium
Package Policy
A Condominium Package policy
is appropriate no matter what type of building you live
in-apartment, townhouse, and detached house condominiums
all need the same type of insurance policy. Part o f the
condo fees you pay are used by the Condominium Corporation
to buy insurance for all units in the condominium complex.
However the condominium corporation insures the building(s)
only and not your other possession. A Condominium Owner's
Package insures your condominium's contents, provides
Personal Liability coverage, and also provide contingent
building insurance for your unit in case the condominium
corporation does not purchase adequate building insurance.
To determine the amount of Contents Insurance you require,
you should try to take an inventory of all your contents
and try to determine their replacement value. You should
also total the value of the improvements (e.g. upgraded
carpeting, painting, new kitchen cabinets, etc.) which
you have made to your condominium unit to ensure that
your Condominium Package Policy provides enough Betterment's
and Improvements coverage for your needs.

Commercial
Insurance
Businesses use insurance to protect their
profits, their assets and equity of their owners and shareholders.
Some of the different type of business insurance policies and
coverage are Office Package policies, Retail Package policies,
Commercial General Liability (CGL) coverage, Stock and Equipment
Coverage, Business Interruption insurance, Errors and Omissions
insurance, Director's and Officers' Liability coverage, Umbrella
Liability insurance, and many more types of coverage. Since
each business has its own unique characteristics and needs,
it is important to have a knowledgeable professional insurance
broker review your business operations and recommend the group
of insurance coverages which are appropriate for your business.
Not only can your insurance broker help you select the right
insurance coverages, but he/she can also select an insurance
company which specializes in providing insurance to your type
of business.
