The Importance of Earthquake Insurance
With the housing market experiencing a dramatic increase in value since 2020, homeownership has become a vital component of building wealth and fueling retirement plans. However,
earthquake insurance often remains the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to protecting clients fully.
GeoVera’s earthquake insurance products bridge that gap, offering low deductible options, flexible payment plans, and specific coverage limits tailored to homeowners’ unique challenges related to earthquake damage.
By presenting earthquake insurance as an essential element of financial security, you position yourself as an expert, guiding clients toward better protection for their most valuable asset.
The Earthquake Risk
California serves as a poignant example of the earthquake risk many areas face.
More than 70 percent of the state’s population resides within 30 miles of a fault where significant ground shaking could occur within the next 50 years. With an average of two to three damaging earthquakes each year, the potential for catastrophic events looms.
According to the California Department of Conservation, there is at least a 60% chance that California will experience an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.7 or greater within the next 30 years . California also holds the record for the highest property damage losses due to earthquakes in the United States.
The Role of Private Insurance
It’s important to note that relying solely on FEMA assistance after a disaster is not sufficient.
FEMA itself points homeowners toward earthquake coverage as a way to recover as quickly and completely as possible.
While FEMA provides some basic needs assistance, it is unable to make homeowners whole again. Recovering faster after a disaster is possible with proper insurance coverage in place.
By cross-selling earthquake insurance to your clients, you empower them with the means to protect their homes and recover swiftly in the event of an earthquake.
Become a GeoVera agent, you not only bolster your business growth but also provide your clients with a vital layer of protection for their homes.
