Insurance & Hurricane Season – What You Need to Know

 Up until a few years ago, we were fortunate enough to not have to worry much about hurricanes. However, multiple storms have come through the Savannah area since and it’s beginning to become more of a worry for homeowners and homebuyers alike. I want to make note of a few things I’ve noticed over the years.




One thing you should be aware of is your flood insurance policy. Typically, when you initiate a flood insurance policy, there is often a waiting period of around 30 days until the policy goes into effect. Keep that in mind if you’re currently in the middle of a real estate transaction.

“The best case scenario is that your closing will be delayed.”

Another thing to keep in mind if you’re currently in the process of buying a home and there is a named storm in the area: Most insurance companies have limitations in their ability to write new policies. That can oftentimes delay closings or put a hold on home purchases altogether.

Even if the storm misses us, the best case scenario is that your closing will be delayed.

If you find yourself in a real estate transaction during this hurricane season, you should definitely have a conversation with your real estate agent and your insurance agent. If you already own a home and are looking to get flood insurance now, get a hold of your insurance agent as well.

We hope this information was valuable to you. If you have any questions for us in the meantime, don’t hesitate to give us a call at 912-436-6551!

What Does a Seller Pay for Closing Costs?

By Alvin Do you know what is included in closing costs and who is responsible for paying them? Today I want to address these questions to give you answers. The first thing that you need to know is that  closing costs are completely negotiable between the buyer and seller.  If you have ever been a seller in a real estate transaction, there is a very good chance you have been asked to contribute to the buyer’s closing costs. If you have been a buyer before, there is a good chance that you have contributed some money to a closing transaction by wiring money to the attorney. Sometimes, buyers are fortunate enough to get some money back at the closing table, although this does not always happen. Some of the charges that make up your closing costs include loan origination fees, attorney fees, title fees, and upfront payments due to an escrow account if there are any. Lots of things make up closing costs. “Some of the things that make up what closing costs include are loan originatio...
