Uninsured Homes: When Insurance Will Jeopardize Your Closing
Uninsured Homes: When Insurance Will Jeopardize Your Closing
You did the listing, the showings, the negotiation. Then an insurance problem nobody saw coming put the whole closing on the table. This hour is how you see it coming.
Deals rarely die from big dramatic problems. They die from a wrong coverage type, a wrong requested value, or a vendor who inserted themselves into your transaction at the worst moment.
Insurance sits quietly inside every financed purchase: loan underwriting requires the right type of coverage at the right value, or the file stops moving. Get either one wrong -- or let an overinvolved outside vendor steer it wrong -- and your closing date becomes a suggestion.
This hour teaches you to identify the insurance pitfalls before they reach the underwriter: what coverage the loan actually needs, what value should be requested, and how to set boundaries with insurance agents and other vendors so your transaction stays yours.
Protect the deal you already earned. That is the whole class.
