Insurance Agents

Mr. Dana Edward Buckhout, Foundation Insurance Company, agents for Erie Insurance Company
email - danabuckhout@yahoo.com       
website - www.figva.com 
Call 703-527-8780 for Vania X107 or Ann Walsh X100 to get a quote.
Tell them you were referred to Dana Buckhout and would like to get a quote on Home and (if you want) your cars. You get a multi-policy discount if you do both.

On the home, they will offer Guaranteed Replacement coverage - this is important.

Options you can consider are

Water and Sewer Drain Backup coverage up to $10,000. (it adds about $40-60).
Siding and Roof Restoration coverage up to $10,000. (it adds about $20-50)
Earthquake Damage -deductible 5% - (adds about $48-78) This one is not as usual.

You will need to know your new home finished square footage, approx. distance to a fire hydrant, age of the house, and type of construction-most are frame these days.

That should be enough to get you a quote. When you compare always confirm the Dwelling coverage amount and deductible that each company is quoting on.

For instance, you do not need to cover the land so the dwelling cost to rebuild will be less than the purchase price of the home and your deductible may be $250 or higher.

If you want to learn more about insurance here is the Virginia Bureau of Insurance website.  On the website you can find  a PDF file of sample rates - you can use this to compare relative costs between companies as they have to file rates with the Virginia government.  Also on the linked page below is a Consumer Guide on Homeowner's Insurance if you want more info.

It is always recommended to obtain multiple quotes.
