Home Sharing Insurance
Home sharing and homeowner’s insurance come up all the time. The #1 statement we hear is, “My agent told me I was covered.” It’s mind-blowing! Mind you; this is coming from insurance agents who represent all the top carriers (you know who they are).
Side note: your agent does not pay your claim.
We wanted to have some fun with this post and do the “Google Test.” So we searched “Home Sharing Insurance,” and guess what was #1. Is Home Sharing Covered by Homeowner’s Insurance? The great thing about this particular “Google Test” is that it made for an easy post!
Talking point: This is the first major insurance carrier we have seen publish a major article on the issue. I give credit to at least one coming out of the closet.
