It is very important to have regular reviews of your insurance information. Clients of Brooke Insurance are always encouraged to consider updating their policies when experiencing life changes. Brooke agents believe in following up with their clients and having close dialog with them to make sure their policies match their lifestyle needs.

For instance, your homeowner’s policy should be reviewed if you have completed major improvements to your home or installed home security devices, such as burglar alarms. You may also need to update your policy if you have started or added to your family. It is helpful if you ask yourself some of the following questions when considering whether or not to make changes in your coverage:

• Does my policy have a separate deductible for risks like hurricane or hail?

• Should I raise the deductible to save money?

• Do I need to raise the amount of coverage for liability, personal possessions or the structure?

• Do I need flood, earthquake or an umbrella policy?
