Owner-occupied quote review
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is the dwelling limit based on rebuild cost? | Market value and rebuild cost can be far apart. |
| How is roof damage settled? | Tennessee roof and storm exposure can change the useful comparison. |
| Are water, flood, or earthquake treated separately? | A broad homeowners quote still has exclusions. |
| Could the carrier inspect after binding? | Post-bind inspections can add repairs or change eligibility. |
Practical note
For a Tennessee HO-3 quote, compare the policy form, deductible wording, and endorsement list before comparing only the premium.
