We all look forward to reaching home to be calmed of the day’s stress. It is a place where we are relieved after a hectic day and welcomed to the comfort arms of the place of abode. If we get so much from home, isn’t it wise to place a premium on it and protect its benefits? Think about insuring your home — it is a step further in ensuring that the functions of your home are reserved and would not be adversely affected should any unforeseen accident take place.
Shelter is one of the basic needs of humans. We all need the assurance that our home is always secure from any unexpected mishap, whether as landlords or tenants.
Are you wondering why home and property insurance coverage is important? The reality is, disaster can strike at any time. No one prays for disaster to happen but we must deliberately put plans in place to serve as a potential contingency to protect both our investment and families. Disaster strikes when we least expect. It could be a sudden house fire, or robbery. The question is, how prepared are you for these types of unfortunate occurrences?
At Cornerstone, we have a home insurance that caters for your needs either as a landlord or a tenant. Our Better Home Guard Insurance provides the following:
