    Talking Homeowners Insurance Challenge

    I did not see this one, not sure if it could be a challenge.

    I got my Homeowners bill in the mail last week and it was 700.00 higher than last year!!!
    I called my agent and asked her to look around.

    She found me another company ( good one to) I am saving 1300.00 a year.

    So I challenge all of you to call your agents and see if you are paying too much on Homeowner, health, and car insurance.

    We are checking out car insurance TODAY.

    1300 is a lot on $$$$$$$

    I saved 323.00 every six months by switching car insurance!!! Whoo hooo

    Some times even if you are comfortable with a company it is worth the move. I had been with my car ins. carrier for 6 years, and my home owners for amost 3.. See what loyaly cost? They were screwing me!!

    I saved $425.00 a year by switching my homeowners & car insurance!! I just did this on Friday so it should be reflected in July when the escrow accounts are reconsiled. I will be saving $25.00 a month on my mortgage payment just from the insurance!! Now waiting for my property tax assesment to come out so I can challenge my homes value and get my mortgage payment even lower!!

    Just make sure you are happy with the reputation of your car insurance company , track record etc. I love my car insurance company, had another before and don't care if they saved me .10 cents or 300.00 would never ever go back! Make sure your policy is the same you were being offered before, sometimes you can save but have less insurance. Many give multiple discounts, even paying 6 months to a year at a time, instead of monthly can save you a couple hundred dollars.

    Great job and kudos to you on researching and saving.

    I now have my car insurance and homeowners insurance with the same company and saved $448 a year. And the payment system works better for me too.
