Save Money on Your Gulfport Home Insurance
Since it is necessary to have home insurance for your Gulfport home, why not look at ways to save money on your insurance? Most lenders will not refinance a home that is not insured for the full value of the property; having the required home coverage need not be costly if one considers taking the following steps:
- Improve your credit score
- Install a security system
- Become a non-smoker
- Bundle insurance
- Modernize your home
- Increase deductibles
By increasing your credit score, you will have a better chance of obtaining the best rates as well as approval of your loan. The majority of insurance companies now utilize the credit score to determine discounts and rates for premiums.
A security system as well as smoke detectors and burglar alarms protect your property and enable discounts from the insurance companies; upgrades that avoid damage or disaster are looked upon favorably by the insurance provider.
Non-smokers reduce that risk of fire-related damages; if you are ready for this health and lifestyle change, you could also save money on your home insurance.
By bundling your insurance needs with the addition of auto, health or jewelry insurance, you could save dollars on your home insurance. Moreover, you may receive at least a 10% discount on your premium for your home monthly premium.
Modernizing your home with a new furnace or air conditioning system, especially if your home is an older one, is a smart choice. New electrical wiring, replaced pipes and energy efficiency are all considered by the insurance company, decreasing fire and accident risk.
Increasing your insurance deductible could save as much as 12% on monthly premiums.
Researching insurance and learning about discounts can help make your Gulfport home insurance more affordable.

“As a first time home buyer, I didn’t really know of what to expect. After meeting with Amanda and talking with her the first time, I felt comfortable enough to ask lots of questions and she was very patient with me.

We contacted Amanda & Associates in December 2015 and was put in contact with Jordyn Favret. From day one, Jordyn was thorough and professional. She went above and beyond to deal with an extremely difficult seller even spending hours in the evening and on the weekends to close the deal on the property. Jordyn answered all of our questions and when she didn’t know the answer, she made the effort to investigate it and get back with us in a timely manner. She met with the rental manager and viewed …

“Amanda’s team really went above and beyond for me while trying to sell my house. I live out of state and Amanda was valuable in several aspects, even going as far as checking on the plumbing during the ice storm that struck south Mississippi this past winter. I’m very pleased with the service that was provided and I highly recommend them.”
