When it comes to protecting what matters most—your home, car, and everything in between—Craig Maitland is the local expert you can trust. People hear GEICO and think of their award winning website or a call center. Most don't know, however, that a local option is available as well.

Expert Tips for Homeowners

As part of our Home Edition, Craig shares these key tips for homeowners:

• Bundle Your Policies: Save money by combining your home and auto insurance under one provider.

• Understand Your Coverage: There are many endorsements available with Homeowners insurance. Make sure you have enough dwelling coverage, which pays for damage to the structure of your home. Your policy can also provide special coverage for your jewelry, tree removal, and even your utility lines. 

• Regularly Review Your Policy: Life changes, and so should your insurance. Schedule annual reviews to ensure your coverage meets your current needs.
