Homeowners insurance is a type of property insurance that covers homes. Homeowner insurance policies combine several types of personal insurance including losses occurring to the home, loss of use, loss or damage of contents, loss of damage to personal possessions of the homeowner, and liability insurance protection for accidents happening in the home or on the property. Homeowners are required to carry homeowners insurance on homes that have an existing mortgage or home equity loan. Cost of a homeowners policy usually depends on what it would cost to replace the home and/or additional personal belongings and contents. Most insurance companies will provide a quote prior to obtaining homeowners insurance. Experts suggest that homeowners solicit insurance quotes from at least 3 companies prior to buying a policy to ensure satisfaction and value.
