Secondary Home Insurance
Owning a secondary home is a wonderful way to escape, whether it’s a cozy cabin in the mountains, a beachside retreat, or a vacation home in your favorite getaway spot. However, a secondary home also comes with its own set of risks and challenges, different from those of your primary residence. At O'Grady Insurance, we offer specialized secondary home insurance policies that provide comprehensive protection for your second property, ensuring that your investment is safeguarded even when you’re not there.
What we offer
Comprehensive Property Coverage
Your secondary home is an important asset, and it deserves the same level of protection as your primary residence. Our comprehensive property coverage protects the structure of your second home against risks like fire, theft, vandalism, and natural disasters. Whether you’re concerned about potential damage while you’re away or during extreme weather events, our policies ensure that your property is well-protected.
Personal Property Coverage
Your secondary home is likely filled with valuable personal belongings that make your time there enjoyable and comfortable. Our personal property coverage protects these items, whether they’re inside your home, stored in an outbuilding, or even taken with you while you travel. This coverage ensures that your furniture, electronics, and other personal items are safeguarded against loss or damage.
What we offer
Liability Protection
Accidents can happen at any time, and if someone is injured on your secondary property, you could be held responsible. Our liability protection covers medical expenses, legal fees, and other related costs, protecting you from potential financial losses. This coverage is especially important for secondary homes, where you may not be present to address issues immediately.
Coverage for Vacant Properties
Secondary homes are often unoccupied for extended periods, which can increase the risk of damage or break-ins. Standard homeowners insurance may not cover losses that occur when a property is vacant. Our secondary home insurance includes coverage specifically designed for homes that are left unattended, ensuring that you’re protected even when you’re not there.
What we offer
Loss of Use Coverage
If your secondary home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered event, our loss of use coverage will help cover the costs of temporary housing and other living expenses. Whether you need to stay at a hotel or rent another property while repairs are made, this coverage ensures that your time away is not disrupted by unexpected costs.
Additional Benefits
Customized Policy Options
Every secondary home is unique, and so are your insurance needs. We offer customizable policy options that allow you to tailor your coverage to fit your specific situation. Whether you need additional coverage for high-value items, protection against specific risks, or higher liability limits, our agents will work with you to create a policy that meets your needs.
Seasonal and Vacation Rental Coverage
If you rent out your secondary home as a vacation property, you face additional risks that require specialized coverage. Our policies can be tailored to include protection for short-term rentals, covering damages caused by tenants, loss of rental income, and liability issues. This ensures that your investment is protected, whether you’re using the property or renting it out.
