Homeowners Insurance Valuation

Overview

Insurance companies, producers, and the insurance-buying public must consider many challenges when determining appropriate limits of insurance for a homeowners or dwelling policy. Insurance to value is always the goal when setting values for residential buildings, but this is one of the challenges for insurance companies, agents, and the insurance-buying public to determine the appropriate limits of insurance.

This course focuses on issues relating to the valuation of residential buildings and structures and discusses the associated policy provisions of dwelling and homeowners insurance. (This course does not deal with the valuation of personal property, nor does it directly address issues relating to loss of use.) It is appropriate for those who have an understanding of dwelling and homeowners insurance.
