Insuring Your Mobile Eastern Shore Real Estate – Part III
This third portion of your guide to homeowners insurance gives you information you hope you’ll never use–dealing with damage to your Mobile Eastern Shore real estate. Most likely your policy will explain how to file a claim, but here are the basic steps:
1. If a crime has been committed, report it to the police. You should get a copy of the police report.
2. Contact your insurance agent or company immediately.
3. If necessary, try to protect your property from further damage. Save your receipts.
4. Don’t dispose of damaged items until the adjuster has seen them.
5. Prepare a list of damaged items. Take pictures of the damage. (Now aren’t you glad you made an inventory list/video?)
6. Get the appropriate claim forms and fill them out completely. Return them within the time limit.
