Below please find INSURANCE MADE SIMPLE: This is an overall general view but not limited the insurances that a new owner may want or need to consider.
Hazard Insurance: Also known as homeowner's insurance. A policy that combines protection against damage to a dwelling and its' contents with protection against claims of negligence or inappropriate action that results in someone's injury or property damage. Homeowner's insurance provides fire, theft and liability coverage. Homeowners' policies are required by lenders and often cover a surprising number of items, including in some cases such property as wedding rings, furniture and home office equipment.
Buyer's Title's Insurance: Insurance that a buyer will purchase to guarantee the lender good title of the property; hence, protecting against any claims that arise from arguments about ownership of the property.
Owner's Title Insurance: Insurance that a seller will purchase to guarantee the buyer good title of the Property.... hence protecting against any claims that arise from arguments about ownership of the property.
Insurance coverage within the HOA: Insurance on the structure of the property, the common walls. This is usually included within the HOA monthly fees.
Home Warranty: Offers protection for mechanical systems and attached appliances against unexpected repairs not covered by homeowner's insurance. Coverage extends for a specific period of time.
Flood insurance: Generally required in high-risk flood-prone areas, this insurance is issued by the federal government and provides as much as $250,000 in coverage for a single-family home plus $100,000 for contents.
Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP): A monthly payment for mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance protects lenders against some or most of the losses that can occur when a borrower defaults. Mortgage insurance is required primarily for borrowers with a down payment of less than 20% of the purchase price.
Buyer should seek and communicate with their individual insurance provider of their choice to fully understand the complete and detailed aspects of their individual insurance coverage.

Dear Julia,
I've written this recommendation of your work to share with other LinkedIn users.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Details of the Recommendation:
"Julia has represented me on over ten transactions; she has been timely, direct, and of high integrity. She has always done what weve agreed and has been a great partner in supporting RE Group, LLC." "Julia, Thank you for helping us purchase our very first home as newlyweds! We didn't know the first thing about real estate transactions but you really made the process of buying a home fun, quick and easy for us. Thank you again!" Love always, Lina & Ryo Kumon
***
"Hi Julia, The services you rendered were very helpful. Purchasing realestate from out of the area can be very scary, but you were always there making sure everything went ok. From the purchasing of the property to the closing you were right on top of things. You were superb!!!" Good luck, AL
***
"Dear Julia, As someone moving across country to Las Vegas, Nevada, with a pregnant wife and small child, Julia made us her first priority. From keeping in touch with us via email and cell phone to picking us up at our hotel when we were in town, my wife and I were objectively and well informed about the properties we viewed before eventually choosing our new home. And, even after signing the purchase contract, Julia continued to work for us until after escrow had closed. She is professional, motivated and genuine. I have not hesitated to refer her to our friends and my clients, and we will certainly seek her services again in future." James Harper, Esq.
***
"Hi, Julia! Time has flown! Thanks for everything. We enjoyed the condo for a couple of months and now have a nice young family living there. Tony and I both would like to personally thank you for all of your help. You opened our eyes to properties we would not have found. You were a great source of information for us and helped to walk us through it.
On top of that, you were always in communication with the sellers and the bank and myself. We really appreciate all your help. Thanks for everything! Take care and talk to you soon!" Elana
***
"Hi Julia....We really appreciated your attentiveness in all aspects of the purchase of our home. You simplified the process and put us at ease with your knowledge and expertise in real estate and the Las Vegas marketplace. You were always accessible to answer any questions or concerns. We would not hesitate to recommend you as a Real Estate Professional. Thanks again!" Christina and Mark Velez
***
"Julia St. Marie sold several investment properties for me during a time when the Las Vegas market was saturated with investor sales and in a location where there was much competition. I got a good price for my houses, even with all that competition. Julia was truly a full-service realtor in that her goal was to minimize the work and worrying I had to do. She used several means for advertising, some of which went beyond what I had previously experienced, and she coordinated the whole process for me. Julia is a true professional with an exceptionally colorful personality, and I was very satisfied with her services and results. I highly recommend her to anyone." Mike Lugo
***
"Dear Julie, I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work. I know I was probably one of your difficult clients to make happy but you succeeded. I am quite picky and indecisive at times and you were able to help me make all the right choices and decisions.
I was very happy with the outcome of the sale of my home and am very happy with my new home that we chose together. The neighborhood is great and the builder is exceptional.
When I am ready to sell and buy again I will call you. I am thinking of upgrading one more time before my son starts high school which will be August 2007. I will call you when I am ready to make a move again. Thanks again."Sincerely yours, Carol J. Hibbard
***
"Julia, Thank you so much, you have gone way beyond the call of duty and it is greatly appreciated. I haven't contacted Jeanne yet (Property Manager) but will it the next day or so, and as soon as I do, you can pass keys to her, I will have her make an additonal set for me. Your service has been impeccable, couldn't have done any of this without you! Elizabeth"
