Personalized Insurance Quotes

When generating a personalized home insurance quote for all Oklahoma residents, we take into account several standard aspects of your home and deductibles to find a starting price point. However, we also look at a few other factors when determining your home insurance premium.

 

The Structure of Your Home

---

What your house is made of can increase or lower your premiums. Concrete and brick houses tend to fare better against environmental elements and are less susceptible to house fires. Therefore home insurance premiums on them tend to be lower than their wood structure counterparts.

 

Your Insurance Score

---

Insurance companies actually use “Insurance Scores” rather than “Credit Scores” when rating for for your home and auto insurance. Each company has their own proprietary formula for calculating an Insurance Score; however, based upon our experience, we find that Credit Scores (such as those through TransUnion) are usually similar to Insurance Scores.

The Age of Your Home

---

Newer homes that have been built with the current safety codes and better building materials may mean lower insurance premiums than their older counterparts that were built with outdated security measures and older structural materials.

 

The Emergency Response Team Nearby

---

Many homeowners don’t realize the effect of their town’s fire station on their home insurance premiums. If your home is close to a fire hydrant, near an adequate fire station, and has a higher quality emergency response team you may be eligible for lower premiums.
