But besides home buying season, it is also Hurricane Season in the Southeast US.&nbsp; The hurricane season officially begins on June 1 and continues through November 30.&nbsp; Although hurricanes could form and cause damage before or after these dates.&nbsp; For 2018, the <a href=\"https:\/\/weather.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Weather Channel <\/a>predicts average to above average intensity in storms, but&nbsp;it only takes one storm.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly,&nbsp;in 2016&nbsp;so many buyers and sellers were caught off guard by Hurricane Matthew.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hurricane_Matthew\">Hurricane Matthew<\/a> caused&nbsp;so much&nbsp;damage in NC and SC that the effects still linger.&nbsp; There were closings <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-6275\" src=\"https:\/\/teammovemortgage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/hurricane-300x222.png\" alt=\"hurricane season\" width=\"300\" height=\"222\">scheduled and once someone could get back to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zillow.com\/\">homes<\/a>, some were several feet deep in water.&nbsp; So the closings often did not happen because the buyers didn&#8217;t want a flooded home.&nbsp; On top of this, many homes did not have flood insurance.&nbsp; Therefore property owners either had to pay for the repairs, try for assistance from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Federal_Emergency_Management_Agency\">FEMA<\/a>, or possibly nothing could be done.&nbsp; So during hurricane season, it is so important to stay on top of all applicable insurances.&nbsp; Let&#8217;s go over some tips for buying and selling homes during hurricane season.&nbsp; Plus we reveal the biggest insurance mistake a homeowner may make!<\/p>\n<h2>Seller Insurance&nbsp;Recommendations in Hurricane Season<\/h2>\n<p>Selling a home during hurricane season can be stressful when the weather people start naming storms in the Atlantic.&nbsp; There are some important tips to remember that could save a lot of money.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Review all insurance policies with your agent<\/li>\n<li>Consider flood insurance even if not in a flood hazard area<\/li>\n<li>Keep all insurances in place through recording of the deed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just as it is a good idea to review with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/advisor-network\/\">financial advisors<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Certified_Public_Accountant\">CPA&#8217;s<\/a>, discussing insurance coverages is very important too.&nbsp; There are so many things to consider besides the annual premium on insurances.&nbsp; For instance, an important area is to verify the cost to replace the home is sufficient.&nbsp; The cost to build a home increases over time so if the policy has not updated lately, it may not be enough to rebuild.&nbsp; This is true for hazard insurance, wind &amp; hail, as well as flood insurance.&nbsp; If a home is in a flood hazard area, lenders will require <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/national-flood-insurance-program\">flood insurance <\/a>on the dwelling to be purchased by the buyer.&nbsp; During hurricane season, it could actually be a good idea to consider flood insurance as a seller.&nbsp; But even if the home is not in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/national-flood-insurance-program-flood-hazard-mapping\">high risk flood zone<\/a>, it would be worth considering flood insurance.&nbsp; Actually flood insurance in these cases can be very cheap since it is very low risk.&nbsp; Some flood policies may even be transferred to the buyer.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, DO NOT cancel any insurance policies until you have definitely verified the deed has is recorded in the buyer&#8217;s name!&nbsp; Sure the chances are low of something happening in this small window, but what if it did?&nbsp; The buyer&#8217;s insurance would not take place until the home is in their name, so don&#8217;t cancel it until you are sure.<\/p>\n<h2>Don&#8217;t Make This Insurance Mistake as a Homeowner!<\/h2>\n<p>There is one mistake that some homeowners either make to save money or it is just out of necessity.&nbsp; <a href=\"http:\/\/teammovemortgage.com\/blog\/2015\/05\/31\/ways-to-pay-off-a-mortgage-early\/\">Paying off a mortgage<\/a> is a good feeling for homeowners.&nbsp; Having that payment gone and realizing a big savings can do right much for a budget! &nbsp;But sometimes a homeowner looks forward to another &#8220;savings&#8221; when the house is paid off.&nbsp; That savings can really backfire though.&nbsp; You see, mortgage companies will require homeowners to cover the dwelling with applicable insurances such as hazard, wind &amp; hail, or flood insurance.&nbsp; So once a mortgage is paid off, some homeowners will cancel or drastically reduce the insurance coverages on their house.&nbsp; Since there no longer is a mortgage requirement, homeowners may look to save a little extra money.&nbsp; Although, dropping insurance coverage can be catastrophic to anyone&#8217;s finances in the event of an emergency.&nbsp; If you are struggling to make insurance payments, reach out to your insurance agent prior to canceling the policy.&nbsp; Remodeling or replacing a home after damage would not be possible for most that cancel insurance, so try your best to avoid this.<\/p>\n<h2>Buyer Insurance Recommendations in Hurricane Season<\/h2>\n<p>Buying a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trulia.com\/\">home<\/a> includes many important decisions to make.&nbsp; These decisions include details of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homes.com\/\">home<\/a>, choosing the right mortgage loan, and completing thorough inspections.&nbsp; But, it is also very important to be diligent in reviewing and binding applicable insurances.&nbsp; So let&#8217;s discuss important insurance tips for buyers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose an insurance agent up-front<\/li>\n<li>Obtain quotes prior to contract<\/li>\n<li>Watch for tropical storm or hurricane warnings<\/li>\n<li>Consider&nbsp;binding insurance early<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t procrastinate!<\/li>\n<li>Perform a walk through prior to closing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Do Your Insurance Homework Early During a Home Purchase<\/h4>\n<p>It cannot be stressed&nbsp;enough how important it is to choose an insurance agent very early in the home buying process.&nbsp; Additionally, prior to contract make sure to obtain and thoroughly discuss insurance options&nbsp;along with premiums with an agent.&nbsp; As mentioned earlier, even if a property is not in a flood hazard area, discuss flood insurance with your agent.&nbsp; It could be very cheap in a low risk area.&nbsp; These discussions will help a buyer have a very accurate total mortgage payment up-front.&nbsp; Plus, it provides knowledge of the types of insurances required and available for the property.&nbsp; Check out one of our articles, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/teammovemortgage.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/10\/flood-insurance-requirements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Understand why and when flood insurance is required on a purchase<\/a>&#8220;.&nbsp; This article gives a more thorough explanation of flood insurance.<\/p>\n<h4>Watch for Tropical Storm or Hurricane Warnings While Buying a Home<\/h4>\n<p>Have you heard of the hurricane hunters that ride in special planes through hurricanes so they know what the storm is doing?&nbsp; Well, you don&#8217;t have to do that but you should be wary of storms approaching your area.&nbsp; Once the storm is &#8220;In the Box&#8221; as insurance companies call it, insurance agencies will not write new policies.&nbsp; Therefore, if a storm sneaks up on you days before closing and then insurance isn&#8217;t available, you cannot close.<\/p>\n<h4>Consider Binding Insurance Early<\/h4>\n<p>Typically, insurance companies will bind an insurance policy very early with an effective date of the closing.&nbsp; &#8220;Binding insurance&#8221; means to basically put the policy in force or to have an effective date.&nbsp; This can be particularly helpful in times where storms are on the way.&nbsp; Although keep in mind once the insurance is bound for a certain date, you cannot close prior to the insurance effective date.&nbsp; So make sure to stay in constant communication with your mortgage lender, closing attorney, Realtor, and insurance agent on binding the insurance.<\/p>\n<h4>Perform a Walk Through Prior to Closing After a Storm<\/h4>\n<p>Of course, if there is a storm prior to closing it is imperative to have a walk through of the home with your agent.&nbsp; If there has been a tremendous amount of rain, wind, or other, consider bringing a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncdoi.com\/OSFM\/Engineering_and_Codes\/HILB.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">licensed home inspector<\/a> back out to the property.&nbsp; This is a good time to see how the property handles drainage after a storm as well.&nbsp; Actually, all closings should have a walk through just prior to closing by the buyer or at least the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.realtor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">buyer&#8217;s agent<\/a>.&nbsp; The walk through confirms the house is still in the same or better condition as the last time it was viewed by the buyer.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Determine if a Home is in a Flood Zone<\/h2>\n<p>Since we are talking hurricanes, let&#8217;s talk a little more about flood zones.&nbsp; What if you own a home and not sure if it is in a flood hazard area?&nbsp; Or what if you are researching a home as a Realtor or buyer in order to see if it is in a flood zone?&nbsp; Well, there are a few ways to research for properties that may be in a flood zone:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Floodsmart.gov<\/li>\n<li>County GIS flood map<\/li>\n<li>Call local zoning board<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/national-flood-insurance-program\">Floodsmart.gov<\/a> is a great resource to research flood insurance requirements as well as find flood insurance agents.&nbsp; Keep in mind that FEMA may change flood maps in each area.&nbsp; Typically these are reviewed about every 7 years, but there could be interim changes when necessary.&nbsp; Also homeowners are not notified when FEMA is reviewing their area.&nbsp; By reviewing local flood maps or the FEMA schedule, one can find out when the local area will be reviewed.&nbsp; This could be important if an area changes to a flood hazard area because an appeal must be made within 90 days.&nbsp; So familiarize yourself with your local county GIS flood map.&nbsp; Plus know that you can call or visit your local zoning board for valuable information.<\/p>\n<h2>Choosing an Experienced, Local Insurance Agent<\/h2>\n<p>Each area of the country has different weather risks such as tornadoes, mudslides, earthquakes, snow, and blizzards.&nbsp; Then, insurance companies have certain experience or risk tolerance of some of these areas more so than others.&nbsp; In coastal southeast US, there is the risk of high winds and hurricanes.&nbsp; It is such a risk in some areas that many homeowners insurance policies exclude coverage for these events.&nbsp; Therefore homeowners must buy a separate wind &amp; hail policy for protection against these storms.&nbsp; We have even seen that many companies will not insure properties on the coast.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best tips we can provide is to at least talk to a <strong>local, experienced<\/strong> insurance agent.&nbsp; Choosing a company that is not only highly rated, but experienced in potential claims popular for the area is paramount.&nbsp; Often the local companies will have lower premiums for these coverages as well.&nbsp;
