High-Risk Homes & Insurance: Why Choosing a Local Brokerage Like Cluett Makes a Difference

Homeowners living in areas prone to flooding, storms, or other hazards often face challenges when seeking home insurance. Many national insurers may offer limited coverage options or charge higher premiums due to the perceived hazards. Understanding why some homes are classified as elevated-risk can help homeowners make informed decisions when navigating the insurance process.

Why Some Homes Are Considered Elevated-Risk

Insurers typically classify homes as elevated-risk based on factors such as proximity to bodies of water, frequency of extreme weather events, outdated construction materials, or even higher crime rates. These elements increase the likelihood of damage, making it harder to find comprehensive and affordable insurance coverage.

The Challenges with National Insurers

National insurers often rely on broad risk assessments rather than understanding the unique challenges of specific regions. This can result in inflated premiums or limited policy options for homeowners in vulnerable areas. Without local expertise, these insurers may not offer the most suitable coverage for the realities of a particular area.
