Your Personal Insurance Solutions

Comprehensive coverage options tailored for Central Iowa families

Home Insurance

Your home is likely your largest investment and the place where your family builds memories. We protect both with comprehensive home insurance.

What's Covered:

Structure and Dwelling Coverage – Repairs or rebuilding if fire, wind, hail, or other covered events damage your home

Personal Property Protection – Your belongings, from furniture to electronics to family heirlooms

Liability Coverage – Protection if someone is injured on your property

Additional Living Expenses – Hotel, food, and temporary housing costs if your home becomes uninhabitable

Detached Structures – Coverage for garages, sheds, and fences

Iowa-Specific Consideration:

We understand Iowa weather—from spring tornadoes to summer hail storms to winter freeze damage. Your policy will address the risks that matter most here.

Your Benefit:

Customized coverage that protects your specific home, neighborhood, and replacement costs in the Des Moines market.

What's Covered:

Liability Coverage – Pays for injuries and damage you cause to others (required in Iowa)

Collision Coverage – Repairs or replaces your vehicle after an accident

Comprehensive Coverage – Protects against theft, vandalism, hail, falling objects, and animal strikes

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage – Protects you if hit by someone without adequate insurance

Medical Payments – Covers medical expenses for you and your passengers

Rental Reimbursement – Pays for a rental car while yours is being repaired

Roadside Assistance – Towing, jump starts, flat tire changes, and lockout service

Auto Insurance

Whether you're commuting to downtown Des Moines, driving to Adventureland with the kids, or heading to the Iowa State Fair, you need auto insurance that protects you on the road.

Iowa-Specific Consideration:

Multi-Car Discounts Available: Insuring multiple vehicles? We'll find you the best package deal.

Your Benefit:

The right balance of protection and affordability, with Iowa-specific coverage for weather-related claims.

Renters Insurance

Just because you don't own your home doesn't mean you shouldn't protect what's inside it. Renters insurance is one of the most affordable ways to protect your belongings.

What's Covered:

Personal Property – Your furniture, clothing, electronics, and valuables (even when you're traveling)

Liability Protection – Coverage if someone is injured in your rental unit

Additional Living Expenses – Temporary housing costs if your rental becomes unlivable

Medical Payments to Others – Covers minor injuries to guests without a lawsuit

Iowa-Specific Consideration:

Common Misconception: Your landlord's insurance does NOT cover your belongings. Their policy covers the building; yours covers everything you own inside it.

Your Benefit:

Affordable protection for everything you own, plus liability coverage. Often less than $20/month for solid coverage.

What's Covered:

Liability claims exceeding your home or auto policy limits

Defense costs in liability lawsuits

Coverage for situations like libel, slander, or false arrest

Worldwide coverage in many cases

Umbrella Insurance

An umbrella policy is extra liability coverage that kicks in when your home or auto policy limits are exhausted. Think of it as a financial safety net for the worst-case scenario.

Iowa-Specific Consideration:

You might need umbrella coverage if you have significant assets to protect, own rental properties, have teenage drivers, or host gatherings at your home.

Your Benefit:

Major financial protection for minor premium investment. Typically $1M to $5M in additional protection for $200-$400 annually.

Life Insurance

Life insurance isn't about you—it's about the people who depend on you. Ensure your loved ones can maintain their lifestyle if something happens to you.

What's Covered:

Term Life Insurance – Coverage for a specific period (10, 20, or 30 years) with lower premiums

Whole Life Insurance – Permanent coverage that builds cash value you can borrow against

Universal Life Insurance – Flexible permanent coverage with adjustable premiums and death benefits

Iowa-Specific Consideration:

How much coverage? A common guideline is 10-12 times your annual income, but your actual needs depend on debts, dependents, and future expenses like college tuition.

Your Benefit:

We'll help you calculate the right coverage amount and find the most affordable policy. No pressure, just honest guidance.
