The best insurance comparison websites even let you talk online or by toll-free telephone service with insurance professionals and get answers to your homeowners insurance questions .

Information You'll Need

The form on the insurance comparison website will ask for such information as:

* The square footage of your home and the year it was built.

* The number of miles from your home to the nearest fire station and the number of feet to the nearest hydrant.

* What deductible you want to apply to your discount homeowners insurance.

* Security features, such as deadbolts and smoke detectors, in your home.

* How much coverage you want for your home and for your home’s contents.

It may be helpful for you to make a detailed inventory of your home’s contents to figure out what coverage amounts you need. You'll need this inventory if you ever have to make a claim.

Decide on a Company

Once you have several homeowners insurance quotes, you'll need to select a company. An easy way to check whether a company is stable and provides good service is to go to the website for your state department of insurance and see how many complaints have been lodged against the company.
