Just contact an Independent agent. We represent many different insurance markets and are familiar with policies available from a larger number of companies than captured agents who only represent a single insurer.
An independent agent can customize a Home Owners Policy for you. We do the comparing for you and then can explain the differences and make recommendations.
Yes & no. It depends on the company. Some company’s will charge while other will not. The main concern is that the pool access is restricted. A gate around the yard or a gate around the pool. Can the pool be seen from the street to where a child may be "lured" into the yard by the looks of an inviting pool? Pools are a big liability concern.
