When securing home insurance, there are several things to review to ensure that the coverage is proper. It can be overwhelming without a helpful insurance agent! Here is something simple that you can provide to help the process move along…property photos. While there is the option for us to come out and get the photos for you, it may be just as easy for you to provide them thanks to the capabilities of our phones.
How to Capture Good Property Photos
Here are some examples and tips to ensure your photos are perfect from the start!
The property photos on the left side are examples that are not helpful to your agent. However, the right side shows perfect photos, which your agent will need to allow the process to move to the next step.
Here are reasons why the left-side photos won’t work:
- You cannot see the roof.
- Only one side of the home is showing.
- The picture is taken too close to the structure.
Here are reasons why the right-side photos are perfect!
- There is a full view from top to bottom of the home, including visibility of the roof.
- 2 sides of the home are visible in a single photo.
Your insurance agent may have additional requirements, but this is a great place to start. Be sure to submit 4 photos similar to the good examples above. In most instances, it is as simple as taking a few steps back to capture the entire image that your agent needs.
