Leaving your home vacant for an extended period could create an insurance surprise when you least expect it. Many homeowner policies contain a vacancy clause that may limit or exclude certain coverage after the property has been unoccupied for a specified period, often 30 to 60 consecutive days.This can be especially important if you've moved into your next home before your current one sells, inherited a property, or have a home undergoing major renovations.Before leaving a property vacant, contact your insurance professional. You may need a vacant home endorsement or different coverage to stay properly protected.If you're planning a move that could leave your home vacant, I'm happy to help you think through the details before they become problems.

While title fraud is uncommon, criminals have been known to use stolen identities to file fraudulent documents against real estate. Understanding the warning signs and available protections can help safeguard your home and provide greater peace of mind. It's another example of why staying informed is one of the best ways to protect your investment.

I'd be happy to help you explore the possibilities and connect you with a trusted mortgage professional to discuss your financing options.
