Homeowner’s Insurance: The Basics SPONSORED BY: GREAT LAKES INSURANCE VI For a Property Insurance Quote Call: 340-774-5433
Let’s face facts; no one enjoys buying insurance, even insurance agents! However, owning a home in the Caribbean is most likely the largest single investment you’ll ever make. People buy insurance to protect their families from financial loss that would destroy their budget & permanently alter their way of life. Approaching insurance with an open & curious mind can help you save money, avoid heartache & buy you piece of mind. That may sound overly dramatic, but talk to anyone that’s lost their home & found out after the fact that they were under-insured & they’ll tell you it’s a frightening place to be.
Here are some helpful tips to help guide you in purchasing homeowners insurance: Understanding Your Homeowners Policy Regardless of what you and your agent choose you still need to read your policy and your renewal declarations carefully. Don’t wait until after a loss to realize that you didn’t have the proper coverage. Understand that your insurance policy is a contract & you need to know what’s in it.
Insure your home for the proper amount Insure for the amount it would cost to rebuild your home if it were completely destroyed. Understand the difference between Market Value and Replacement Cost Value. Market value is the amount a buyer would pay for a home, including the land, regardless of how much it would cost to rebuild the home. Replacement cost for this purpose is the rebuilding cost necessary to repair or replace the entire home. Your appraisal can be a valuable resource in calculating the replacement cost value of your home. Always insure your home for its full replacement cost value.
Policy Maintenance Your agent can help you find the best homeowners insurance limit to rebuild your home. You will need to update that limit periodically to maintain a limit that reflects current construction costs. It’s always a good idea to sit down with your agent & review your policy on an annual basis as values & circumstances can change.
Look for More than Just Cheap Home Owners Insurance When shopping for a homeowners insurance policy you may not end up with the best coverage if you only shop by comparing prices and not by comparing coverage. As mentioned earlier, your home is potentially the largest investment you’ll make. Look for policies that offer the broadest coverage. Saving money by buying a cheap policy can cost you $1,000’s later on.

HOME INSPECTION Call 340.998.1248
The US Virgin Islands are a wonderful place to live, however, year round sunshine, constant humidity, and salt permeated air can be tough on residences. The main purpose of a home inspection is, of course, to identify structural deficiencies and safety hazards. A licensed professional should be brought in for further evaluation and recommendations for these issues. Findings may effect the sales transaction. With that said, no property is perfect. A Home Inspection is also a great opportunity for the inspector to help the buyers to educate themselves about the property. Deferred maintenance, improper installations, appliances that may need replacing in the near future, old repairs that need to be monitored‌ are just a few of the items that the inspector will point out. We strongly recommend, when possible, that the buyers be present at the inspection. We have over 20 years experience in Construction, Property Management, and Property Maintenance. Our goal is to provide a detailed overview of the property that will be of benefit not only during the sales process, but for years to come. I look forward to working with you. - Keith Snell, Licensed Home Inspector

The Dolphin Cove property, which is located just west of the Secret Harbor Beach Resort, is the most unique of them all. Finding a waterfront 1 acre lot in this area is challenging but finding 19 acres with 2000+ feet of shoreline is unheard of. This is the largest undeveloped waterfront property on the desirable East End of St. Thomas and also one of the largest undeveloped waterfront properties on the island. Two beaches, panoramic views and gentle grade throughout are the icing on the cake. Call Mike today to schedule a private showing. Originally priced at $9,500,00 this property is a steal at $3,900,000
