Section 01 What Property Insurance Generally Does

How home, condo, and landlord policies generally work

Every policy is governed by its own written terms, limits, and deductibles. An agent at our office can walk you through the details of a specific policy and how each part applies to your property.

Part 01 Single-Family Home

Homeowners Insurance

A homeowners policy is generally structured around the physical dwelling, other structures on the lot such as a fence or detached garage, your household's personal belongings, additional living expenses if a covered loss makes the home unlivable during repairs, and personal liability.

Part 02 Unit Owners

Condo Insurance

A condominium association typically carries a master policy for the building exterior and common areas, while a unit owner's policy generally addresses interior finishes, fixtures, personal belongings, personal liability, and loss assessment options. An agent can review your association's master policy summary with you.

Part 03 Rental Properties

Landlord Insurance

When you rent a house or residential unit to tenants, a standard homeowners policy is generally not meant for that arrangement. A landlord policy often focuses on the rental dwelling structure, premises liability for the property owner, and options related to rental income if a covered loss interrupts occupancy.

Texas Notes for Property Owners

Spring hail deductibles and separate flood insurance

Spring hail is part of life in North Texas. It is a good reason to know your deductible before storm season, including whether your policy uses a percentage deductible or a dollar amount for wind and hail.

In addition, flood damage is generally not covered by a standard homeowners policy, and flood insurance is usually separate. An agent can talk it through with you so you know what options exist for your address.

Section 02 Who It Suits

When a home, condo, or landlord consultation helps

Property insurance questions often come up at specific moments in household life. Our office regularly sits down with neighbors in The Colony, Little Elm, Frisco, and Lewisville who are in one of these situations:

  • Buying a home or condo with a closing date ahead

    Mortgage lenders require proof of insurance before closing. We can review the property details, walk through dwelling and deductible options, and coordinate with your lender's closing timeline.

  • Reviewing an upcoming annual renewal

    If your renewal packet arrived in the mail or you received a letter from our office, we can look at your current declarations page together and explain how your current limits and deductibles are set up.

  • Updating after a roof replacement or home project

    Replacing a roof in North Texas is an important detail for property underwriting. Having the year your roof was replaced helps an agent review your options accurately.

  • Turning a house into a rental or buying an investment property

    If a property is rented to tenants or about to be leased, we can walk through how landlord insurance differs from an owner-occupied homeowners policy.

Section 04 General Questions

Frequently asked questions about home, condo, and landlord insurance

These answers provide general information for Texas property owners. Because every policy is different, a licensed agent will walk through the exact terms of any policy you consider.

Does a standard homeowners policy include flood damage?
Flood damage is generally not covered by a standard homeowners policy, and flood insurance is usually a separate policy. If you want to look at flood insurance options for your property in North Texas, an agent at our office can talk it through with you.
Why does the age of my roof matter in North Texas?
Because spring hail and high winds are common in North Texas, insurers often look closely at the year a roof was installed or last replaced and the materials used. Knowing when your roof was replaced helps an agent give you accurate information about underwriting and wind or hail deductibles.
How is condo insurance different from homeowners insurance?
With a single-family home, the owner is typically responsible for the entire structure and the land. In a condominium, the association's master policy generally addresses common areas and parts of the building structure, while the individual unit owner's policy generally focuses on interior walls or finishes, personal property, and personal liability. Bringing your association's master policy summary helps an agent see where the association's responsibility ends.
When do I need a landlord policy instead of a homeowners policy?
Homeowners policies are generally written for homes occupied by the owner. When a property is leased to tenants as a long-term rental, insurers generally require a landlord or dwelling fire policy designed for tenant occupancy. Note that a landlord policy generally applies to the building owner's interest rather than the tenant's personal belongings, so tenants usually carry their own renters insurance.
Can we review my home and auto policies at the same appointment?
Yes. Because our office works with home, condo, landlord, auto, life, and boat insurance, you can send photos of the declarations pages for each policy and review your household's policies together in one appointment.
