All homeowners should consider various types of insurance
State Farm Insurance agent Sandy Meurer urges first-time homebuyers and those who already own houses to protect their property as thoroughly as possible.
Meurer, who has been in the business for 30 years – all with State Farm – said she can help property owners with these kinds of decisions.
“Earthquake insurance,” she responded when asked what type of insurance is often overlooked by homeowners. “Another big one I bring up is sewer backup insurance. It’s optional, just like earthquake insurance. But there can be substantial damage from a sewer backup.
“Take it a step further. If your home is on a farm, make sure your cows are covered. Of course, we can insure your business, as well.”
She said her agency also assists clients in getting the most bang for their buck.
“The biggest discount you get as a homeowner is when you have your car insurance and home insurance with your insurance agent, as well,” Meurer said. “Of course, you need to make sure to insure all of your vehicles, make sure your cars are covered, your ATVs, your campers.”
She invites people to visit her office at 402 S. Second St., De Soto.
Having a local agent adds value to the insurance services provided, she said.
“You’re not calling an 800 number,” Meurer said. “You can meet face-to-face, get to know everybody here. You’ll see us – my team – in the community.”
