Insurance Needs
Flood, Windstorm and Homeowners are necessary for financing your new coastal home (should you be in a flood zone). Shop locally for a great policy. HINT: Shop your insurance at the same time you are doing your banking. “Do not wait till the last minute”, insurance on the coast is different than inland. Ask for the three policies. If you can afford it, be sure and get an additional flood policy.
