SUMMARY:The Empowered Homeowner:  Navigating Homeowners Insurance Coverage & Claims
DESCRIPTION:PART 2 – Understanding Your Homeowners Insurance Policy & Claims Process: How to save money by understanding your risks and coverage\nThe Empowered Homeowner is a 2-part educational workshop aimed at helping homeowners understand the exterior of the home\, maintenance issues that commonly arise\, how to read and understand the coverage provided by your homeowners insurance policy\, and finally\, how to handle unexpected damage from weather events. The workshops will feature flow charts and diagrams\, handouts of terms\, photos\, policy and claim examples for a variety of insurance carriers\, and each session will feature a checklist of questions to take home. \nPurchasing a Homeowner’s insurance policy to protect your home in case of unexpected events typically goes hand in hand with the purchase of a home. What doesn’t always accompany these purchases is an understanding of how your homeowner’s insurance works including what is or isn’t covered\, what affects the price of your policy and what will happen if you have an unexpected event leading to a claim. In this workshop\, you’ll learn the basics of insurance coverage and leave with some sample policy language (regardless of your carrier)\, as well as a list of questions to take back to your agent so that you can make more informed decisions that align with your priorities for your home\, budget and lifestyle. \nAdditionally\, we will cover how\, when\, and why to file an insurance claim – particularly as it relates to weather and storm damage. Then we will work through a flow chart of the claims process from beginning to end. You will leave with a handout about the process as well as sample language and terms of insurance claim paperwork so if you are ever dealing with this you have tools to help guide you through the gauntlet of competing interests. \nThe workshop is designed for 90 min of content and 30 min reserved at the end for questions and answers. \nCost for this 2 part series (Novemeber 14 & 21) is $30 \nClick here to register through Minneapolis Community Education

SUMMARY:The Empowered Homeowner: Understanding & Maintaining the Exterior of Your Home
DESCRIPTION:PART I – Exterior Construction Repairs\, Restoration\, and Water Mitigation – Understanding the anatomy of house’s exterior\, common maintenance issues and how to minimize costs\nThe Empowered Homeowner is a 2-part educational workshop aimed at helping homeowners understand the exterior of the home\, maintenance issues that commonly arise\, how to read and understand the coverage provided by your homeowners insurance policy\, and finally\, how to handle unexpected damage from weather events. The workshops will feature flow charts and diagrams\, handouts of terms\, photos\, and each session will feature a checklist of questions to take home. \nOwning your own home can be a lot to bite off for many people\, and while this hour long workshop certainly only touches the tip of the iceberg\, we hope to outline some of the most common areas of wear and tear to the exterior of your home that can prevent (or minimize) larger damage issues that are either excluded or not covered by homeowners insurance. We also will discuss some of the areas (with photos) where we see homeowners think that there has been weather/storm related damage but the damage is actually the result of other issues (maintenance\, improper installation\, product warranty). \nThe workshop is designed for 90 min of content and 30 min reserved at the end for questions and answers. \nCost for this 2 part series (Novemeber 14 & 21) is $30 \nClick here to register through Minneapolis Community Education

DESCRIPTION:This is a series of educational workshops aimed at empowering homeowners throughout their home insurance\, maintenance\, claims\, and repair process/es. Each of these workshops is designed to be a stand alone module\, and as a whole try to represent the insurance policy\, maintenance\, and claim cycle. You do not need to attend all three classes but it is designed as a 3 part series. \nCare and Feeding of Your Home Exterior \nOwning your own home can be a lot to bite off for many people\, and while this hour long workshop certainly only touches the tip of the iceberg\, we hope to outline some of the most common areas of wear and tear to the exterior of your home that can prevent (or minimize) larger damage issues that are either excluded or not covered by homeowners insurance. We also will discuss some of the areas (with photos) where we see homeowners think that there has been weather/storm related damage but the damage is actually the result of other issues (maintenance\, improper installation\, product warranty). \nClass Fee: $12 for one or $35 for 3 class series \nNote: Class location is the Central Square Community Center in South St. Paul (address below) \nClick here to register through South St. Paul Community Education

In this workshop\, you’ll learn the basics of insurance coverage and leave with some sample policy language (regardless of your carrier)\, as well as a list of questions to take back to your agent so that you can make more informed decisions that align with your priorities for your home\, budget and lifestyle. \nClass Fee: $12 for one or $35 for 3 class series \nNote: Class location is the Central Square Community Center in South St. Paul (address below) \nClick here to register through South St. Paul Community Education \n

In this workshop we will briefly touch on when and why to file a claim – particularly as it relates to weather and storm damage. Then we will work through a flow chart of the claims process from beginning to end. You will leave with a handout about the process as well as sample language and terms of insurance claim paperwork so if you are ever dealing with this you have tools to empower you as the homeowner to make the best decision for your home and budget. \nClass Fee: $19 \nNote: Class location is the Educational Service Center in Maple Grove (address below) \nClick here to register through Osseo Area Schools Community Education
