Homeowners Insurance

Protect your investment from day one. These are Tim's trusted local insurance contacts in the South Bend and Michiana area.

Getting coverage before closing? Your lender will require proof of homeowners insurance before funding. Line up your agent early — ideally 2–3 weeks before closing day.

💡 Tim's Tip

First-time buyers often forget to budget for insurance until the last minute. Get quotes from both an independent agent and a national carrier — independent agents like Leliaert can shop multiple companies for you, while a captive agent like State Farm may offer better bundling discounts if you're combining home and auto.
