Homeowners Education Class Received a Great Deal of Positive Feedback

Bobbie Moss, prospective urban homeowner
“I learned something I didn’t know anything about. If anything would come up unexpectedly I would have it covered by insurance. If a snowstorm would come and someone would come on my property and hurt themselves it would be covered. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I’m prepared for the unexpected. I’m just hoping none of that would happen.”

Adrian Perez, prospective urban homeowner
“I think it’s helpful because you know that person (insurance speaker) is reputable and they know what they’re talking about. I have that security. I can also ask questions that will be more catered to what my needs are.”

Teresa Starks, prospective urban homeowner
“I learned that if there is damage done to the home you won’t lose money (when properly insured). You can replace your things, and there’s comfort in knowing that.”

Gerald Starks, prospective urban homeowner
“Insurance is something you don’t think about having. It’s beneficial to have it. It gives you peace of mind knowing that you are covered. I didn’t realize you had to pay the whole insurance premium before you get to closing. That was informative.”

Barb Williams, Farmers Insurance Group agent, Indianapolis
“These homeowners insurance education classes are the best part of what I do. I can talk to 30 people once a month, and reach more people. I know I’m going to help them achieve something they’ve worked hard for. That’s very personally rewarding for me.”

“It’s extremely important for people to be more aware of insurance, including replacement costs, additional discounts, and liability issues. If you haven’t owned a home you don’t know that. This is an excellent way to give back to the community.”

“The insurance classes, which are industry wide, are from an educational standpoint. One family didn’t think they had a prayer of getting a house. It gave me a great sense of satisfaction to be a part of that. I helped them get the homeowners insurance they needed. I also sold them life insurance. They assumed it was so expensive they never thought they could afford it. Now they have homeowners insurance and life insurance, neither of which they thought they could have in their life.”
