Our technology delivers quotes in minutes – not hours – and our cutting-edge smart home system proactively helps people prevent losses from happening in the first place. And with modernized coverage designed from the ground-up for today’s customer, and a suite of benefits and services to help you become a better, safer homeowner, Savvi is transforming the very essence of what it means to be insured and protected.

Savvi has been built from the ground-up combining cutting edge technology with modernized and comprehensive insurance protection that’s backed by the strength and financial security of some of the largest insurance companies in the world. Unlike traditional insurance companies that are almost entirely reactive and only respond after something bad happens, Savvi focuses on being proactive and helping you prevent losses from happening in the first place. With all the technology that we have at our disposal - and bearing in mind none of us want to have a loss in the first place - Savvi is evolving the traditional insurance model of "repair and replace" to "predict and prevent."

Tech to Protect, Insurance for Care and Repair means that every policy comes with a full smart home kit that includes water leak sensors, door contacts, motion sensors, smoke and fire detection and cameras. Our whole home security kit is designed to help predict and prevent losses from happening in the first place, while also providing genuine peace of mind to our customers. So with the camera for example, you can check in on your home while you're maybe across the country on vacation – or even just make sure the kids got home safely from school today - and maybe even started their homework! We then back that up with modernized comprehensive coverage that responds to the needs of today’s homeowner and a concierge style approach to claims that helps get you back to where you were before the loss as quickly, effortlessly and fairly as possible.

Sleep well knowing that you're protected by some of the largest and most financially secure insurance companies out there, including Lloyd's of London, the world’s specialist insurance market for over 300 years. Our partners have earned A-ratings from A.M. Best which means your policy is secure no matter what happens. Some policies may be provided on a Surplus Lines basis. And while Savvi might be new, our management team has extensive experience in all facets of the insurance industry. Savvi’s Founders have a combined 45+ years experience and have established and operated insurance companies for decades.

At this time, we do not. We do, however, offer discounts in certain states for customers whose Automobile policy is held with a Savvi agent.

You sure can and we will help you with that! If you’re a homeowner, we’ll notify your lender and handle your escrow payments (if you pay your premium through them) to switch you over seamlessly to Savvi.

The Savvi Smart Home app is available through our iOS and Android apps and you can purchase a policy through one of our appointed select agency partners or directly through our website.

Type in your address, confirm a few details, select your discounts and coverage options, and you’re good to go. In most cases, you can get your policy in under five minutes so you can go do something fun, rather than worrying about your insurance.

Homeowners insurance is important for a variety of reasons. If you’re insured, any significant repairs or rebuilding after a disaster can potentially be covered by your insurance policy, up to your set limits. If you owe money on your mortgage and your home is completely destroyed, you will still be required to pay your home loan. Homeowners insurance can help pay for the rebuilding cost. If you insure your house at full replacement cost value, you will have the means to fully rebuild, if needed. Liability coverage is arguably one of the most important aspect of homeowners insurance. If something happens to a visitor on your property, your liability coverage can cover that person’s medical costs, as well as your legal fees if you are sued. Lawsuits are expensive and hiring a lawyer can cost thousands of dollars. If you’re found responsible, you could be ordered to pay large sums of money, a cost that can be offset by your liability coverage.

Your mortgage lender typically will require coverage in order to provide a home loan. Even if you own your home outright and you are not required to buy homeowners insurance, it’s still a good idea to protect what is often your largest investment with an insurance policy. Your home coverage can also help to protect you financially in the event of a liability claim that leads to a lawsuit.

Your mortgage lender will require you to purchase homeowners insurance before closing on your home. There are many factors that determine the right insurance coverage so make sure you compare policies and quotes to find the best coverage for your needs.

The different types of homeowners policies are fairly standard throughout the country; however, companies may offer policies that are slightly different or go by other names such as “standard" or “deluxe." People who own the home they live in have several policies to choose from. The most popular policy is the HO-3. It provides coverage for the structure of the home and personal belongings as well as personal liability coverage. It also provides the broadest coverage, protecting against 16 disasters or perils.

The most popular policy is the HO-3. It provides coverage protecting against the following 16 disasters or perils: Fire or lightning; Windstorm or hail; Explosion; Riot or civil commotion; Damage caused by aircraft; Damage caused by vehicles; Smoke; Vandalism or malicious mischief; Theft; Volcanic eruption; Falling object; Weight of ice, snow or sleet; Accidental discharge or overflow of water or steam from within a plumbing, heating, air conditioning, or automatic fire-protective sprinkler system, or from a household appliance; Sudden and accidental tearing apart, cracking, burning, or bulging of a steam or hot water heating system, an air conditioning or automatic fire-protective system; Freezing of a plumbing, heating, air conditioning or automatic, fire-protective sprinkler system, or of a household appliance; Sudden and accidental damage from artificially generated electrical current (does not include loss to a tube, transistor or similar electronic component)

If you own a multifamily home, you usually purchase an HO-3 with an endorsement to cover the risks associated with having renters live in your home.

Most standard homeowners policies provide the following coverage sections: Coverage A - The structure of the home Coverage B – Additional structures Coverage C - Personal belongings Coverage D - Additional living expenses Coverage E & F - Liability protection

This part of a policy pays to repair or rebuild your home if it is damaged or destroyed by fire, hurricane, hail, lightning or other disaster listed in the policy. It will NOT pay for damage caused by a flood, earthquake or routine wear and tear.

Most standard policies also cover structures that are not attached to a house such as a garage, tool shed or gazebo.

Furniture, clothes, sports equipment and other personal items are covered if they are stolen or destroyed by fire, hurricane or other insured disaster. Most companies provide coverage for 50% to 70% of the amount of insurance on the structure of a home (Coverage A). This part of the policy includes off-premises coverage. This means that your belongings are covered anywhere in the world, unless you have decided against off-premises coverage. Expensive items like jewelry, furs and silverware are covered, but there are usually dollar limits if they are stolen. To insure these items to their full value, you can purchase a special personal property endorsement or floater and insure the item for its appraised value.

This pays the additional costs of living away from your home if it is inhabitable due to damage from a fire, storm or other insured disaster. It covers your hotel bills, restaurant meals and other living expenses incurred while your home is being rebuilt.

Liability covers against lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage that you or your family members cause to other people. It also pays for damage caused by your pets. The liability portion of the policy pays for both the cost of defending you in court and any court awards—up to the limit of the policy. Coverage is not just in the home, but extends to anywhere in the world. Liability limits generally start at about $100,000. An umbrella or excess liability policy, which provides broader coverage, including claims for libel and slander, as well as higher liability limits, can be added to your policy.

Even the broadest homeowners insurance policy won’t cover everything that could possibly go wrong with your home. For example, you can’t intentionally damage your own house, then expect your insurer to pay for it. Policies also typically exclude damage from other causes, such as: Flooding, including drain and sewer backup. Earthquakes, landslides and sinkholes. Infestations by birds, vermin, fungus or mold. Wear and tear or neglect. Nuclear hazard. Government action, including war. Power failure. Flood insurance and earthquake insurance are available separately, and in hurricane-prone states, you may also need windstorm insurance.

Damage caused by most disasters is covered, but there are important exceptions. Standard homeowners policies do NOT cover flooding or earthquakes. Flood coverage is provided by some insurance companies as well as the federal government’s National Flood Insurance Program. Earthquake coverage is available either in the form of an endorsement or as a separate policy.

Do NOT focus on what you paid for the house, how much you owe on your mortgage, your property tax assessment or the price you could get if you sell. If you base your coverage on those numbers, you could end up with the wrong amount of insurance. Instead, set your dwelling coverage limit at the cost to rebuild. You can be confident you’ll have enough funds for repairs, and you won’t be paying for more coverage than you need.

An Actual Cash Value policy pays to replace your home or possessions minus a deduction for depreciation.

A Replacement Cost policy pays the cost of rebuilding or repairing your home or replacing possessions without a deduction for depreciation.

An Extended Replacement Cost policy pays a certain percentage over the Coverage A limit to rebuild your home. Generally, it is 20% to 25% more than the limit of the policy. For example, if you take out a policy for $100,000, you can get up to an extra $20,000 or $25,000 of coverage. Extended Replacement Cost policies are more expensive; but they offer the best financial protection against disasters for a home.

Homeowners policies typically include an insurance deductible — the amount you’re required to cover before your insurer starts paying. The deductible can be a flat dollar amount, such as $500 or $1,000, or a percentage, such as 1% or 2% of the home’s insured value. When you receive a claim check, your insurer subtracts your deductible amount. For example, if you have a $1,000 deductible and your insurer approves a claim for $10,000 in repairs, the insurer would pay $9,000 and you would be responsible for the remaining $1,000.

Depending on where your home is located, you may also have separate — and often higher — deductibles for specific types of claims, such as damage from wind, hail, hurricane or earthquake. For example, a policy might have a $1,000 deductible for most losses but a 2% deductible for Wind and Hail coverage. This means if a hurricane damages a home with $300,000 worth of dwelling coverage, the deductible would be $6,000. Liability claims generally don’t have a deductible.

Choosing a higher deductible will usually reduce your premium; however, you will be on the hook for more of the financial burden should you need to file a claim. A lower deductible, on the other hand, means you might have a higher premium, but your insurer would pick up nearly the whole tab after an incident. Consider your financial situation carefully before you select your deductible.

Consider carrying a higher deductible. It will save you money on your premium and discourage you from filing small claims that may put you at risk for non-renewal. But remember to consider your financial situation carefully before you select a higher deductible. Do routine home maintenance check-ups. Preventing damage from water losses and other typical in-home disasters that can often be avoided may save you from future headaches and financial risk. Install safety & security devices. You can often save up to 15% on you premium with deadbolt locks, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, burglar alarms and fire alarms that alert your local police and fire stations. Check into a multi-policy discount. Some companies offer a price break for having more than one type of policy with the same company. Maintain good credit. Many companies provide discounts or consider good credit as one of the factors when selling new policies, so it can really pay off to manage your personal finances. Invest in hail and fire resistive roofing products. Your roof is the most vulnerable part of your home and many companies consider the roofing materials into the premium you are charged. Depending on where you live, some companies charge a percentage, rather than a dollar deductible or surcharge on a roof made out of high-risk materials, like wood shingles or shakes.
