Condo owners are less responsible for maintaining the grounds and building upkeep than those living in a separate home. However, that simplicity causes some complications since you and the condo association share responsibility for insuring the condo.<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions about your condo insurance and live in the Wheat Ridge, CO area, our CO Insurance Specialist is ready to help.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Top Condo Insurance Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The first tip in selecting the right condo insurance coverage is to review your HOA&#8217;s master policy to determine if it is &quot;bare walls-in&quot; or &quot;all-in.&quot; &quot;Bare walls-in&quot; policies do not cover anything inside the walls of your condo, while &quot;all-in&quot; covers your interior walls, appliances, flooring, and lighting. Your condo insurance should cover everything the HOA policy doesn&#8217;t handle.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Higher Deductibles<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Like all insurance, you can save money by having higher deductibles. However, you should have the cash on hand to cover the deductibles if you make a claim.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Inventory Your Belongings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To avoid underestimating the value of your possessions, inventory your belongings and obtain appraisals for jewelry and other valuables so your insurance covers the property&#8217;s full value.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Landlord Rider<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you rent the condo during parts of the year, add a landlord rider to your policy to protect against damage caused by renters.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Umbrella Coverage<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your condo and other insurance policies have liability limits. If you are retired, consider obtaining an umbrella policy to protect your assets against liability claims.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Working with CO Insurance Specialist<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>CO Insurance Specialist proudly serves the Wheat Ridge, CO, area.
