Seattle Homeowner’s Insurance Explained

Many people believe that they have little or no control over their homeowner’s insurance.  Often, people think that premiums are determined by some “secret formula.”  It is true that every company has rates for their homeowner’s premiums, but there are many factors that help make up your homeowner’s premiums.

Factors that help determine your Seattle homeowner’s premiums

•          Location
•          Age of home
•          Age of roof
•          The replacement cost
