When you’re purchasing property or helping a client purchase a property, obtaining insurance is a necessary part of the process. In fact, many lenders will only approve a loan if the proper insurance policies are already in place. This can be tricky when dealing with foreclosures, fixer-uppers, or properties with complicated histories. Having a reputable insurance agency on your side with experience insuring these types of properties can be extremely helpful. Read on to learn more.
Insuring the Hard-to-Insure
