Make a safe investment, insure your property

Home insurance is the best way for a person to protect his/her home from any possible eventuality that may occur. Any day, and as a consequence of an accident or other causes beyond our control, we could lose our home and everything in it.

 

From one day to the next, we could find ourselves in the street and have lost our home, and with it the savings of a lifetime. That is why it’s very important to have insurance, especially in South Florida, where many times of the year there are some weather phenomena that can lead to some unforeseen events.

 

If any eventuality happens, by having your home insurance, you will be able to sleep better. If there is any accident covered by the insurance policy, you can rest assured that those expenses will be covered by your insurance and not by you. Although having insurance for your home is not mandatory, like having insurance for your car, we recommend 100% that you insure your home, and that way you will be covered in case of any unforeseen event.

 

If you want to invest in South Florida, where there are beautiful places to live, having home insurance can be very important for you and your family in case of any eventuality. Don't think twice, insure your home, and that way, you won't have to worry if any unforeseen event or accident happens.

Security in South Florida

We have recommended Florida as one of your best options to settle with your family. However, Florida is not only a good option to move into because of the economic and recreational opportunities, but also because it is one of the safest states.

South Florida has some of the best places to live; Weston, for example.

It is among the top 3 best cities to live in terms of security, after Greenwich and Parsippany.

It might seem a bit obsessive or controlling to want to have all the information about the place you plan to move to, but your safety and that of your family are things you can't put at risk.

Among the advantages of living in a safe place is your peace of mind. Knowing that you are safe and that your family is safe is something that has no comparison.

Your children can go play safely, or go out and have a quiet time.

In addition, your house will be safe when you are not there and, consequently, so will your assets.

Weston is a perfect place to live. It is among the cities with the best quality of life in all the United States. With parks, clubs, bookstores, markets, etc., you will never get bored.

You will be surrounded by a safe, multicultural and family-friendly community. A rich environment to grow.

Your children will receive a grade A education, both in public and private schools. All the wonders you dreamed in Florida.

We recommend you to consult with a real estate agent to help you with the location and purchase of the right property for you.

Tips for a Safer Home

Few things are more exciting than moving to a new home, especially if it is your first home. And when it comes to what it’s ours, our family and our loved ones, there’s no such thing as “too many” security measures. In this article, we are going to give you some tips about security and how to keep your home safe in every possible way.

Neighborhood security has always been a priority for homebuyers, right next to finding an affordable home. Recent surveys have shown that 78% of the respondents felt like it was very important to replace or rekey their new home’s lock after moving in, which might sound a little bit obvious, but until the 1990s, only 50% felt this way. What changed? Is it a rising paranoia?

Justified or not, families keep investing in security measures every year and everywhere in America. Like we said, you can’t be “too safe” when it comes to your family’s wellbeing.

If you think that your home could probably be safer, here are some tips to finally achieve that peace of mind that you’ve always wanted:

1.      Paying a monthly fee for an alarm service can be a great investment to consider. It’s worth every penny, if you ask us.

2.      Make your home look occupied even when you are away. Use timers to turn the lights and the TV on and off at different hours of the day.

3.      Use warning signs even if they are not true. A little “beware of the dog” sign can do wonders against burglars who are always looking for the weakest house. If you want to go the extra mile, placing a dog food bowl near the back door can be a great idea.

4.      Light is essential. Make sure that your house is well lit on the outside and that there are no dark spots, especially near the entrances.

5.      Get to know your neighbors, even if you are not much of a people person. Having an extra pair of eyes right outside of your property can be very useful, and in case of an emergency, you can count on their help. And if you go on vacation, you can ask them to pick up your mail so your home won’t look empty.

6.      It doesn’t matter how safe your neighborhood might appear, always keep your valuables creatively hidden.

These are some simple pointers to consider whenever you move to a new neighborhood, or if you are already established in one and you would like to make your home a safer place. Most landlords and home sellers know about the importance of security, and they are already making some improvements to their properties to capture the interest of more and better buyers.
