Getting a quote also gives you an opportunity to learn more about the property. The insurer’s questions about the roof or past updates can help you identify information we’ll need to request.

We’ve written about how to begin that conversation and what to look for when the quote arrives. If you’re considering a home, this is a useful place to start.
