Licensed P&C agents: when a homeowner shops carriers or bundles home and auto coverage, what is the one comparison step beyond the headline premium that most often changes the outcome (dwelling valuation method, percentage vs flat deductibles, water and sewer-backup gaps, claims-service record)? What should a consumer verify before switching, and in which situation is switching carriers a mistake even when the quote is lower? We are a consumer research desk publishing on home insurance costs and want practitioner insight alongside the data. Please include your name, title, firm and the state(s) you are licensed in - every quote is attributed to the named expert.
