Insurance Checkup

Life moves fast — but your insurance shouldn’t fall behind.
Whether you’re raising a family in Lenexa, running a business in Olathe, or planning retirement in Overland Park, a lot can change in a year. And if your insurance hasn’t kept up, it could leave you exposed to costly gaps.

The good news? You can do a quick 5-minute insurance checkup right now.

Here’s how to make sure your coverage still fits your life — and what to look for before your next renewal.

 

1. Has Your Home’s Value or Setup Changed?

  • Renovated the kitchen?
  • Added a deck or finished the basement?
  • Bought a trampoline or installed a pool?

Why it matters: These improvements could increase your home’s replacement cost — or introduce new liability risks.

✅ Action: Make sure your dwelling coverage and liability limits reflect these updates.

 

2. Have You Bought, Sold, or Changed Vehicles?

  • Upgraded your car?
  • Added a teen driver?
  • Started using your vehicle for delivery or side gigs?

Why it matters: Your auto coverage may need to be adjusted, especially if your vehicle’s use or value has changed.

✅ Action: Review your comprehensive, collision, and liability limits.

 

3. Any Life Changes in the Last 12 Months?

  • Got married? Had a child?
  • Changed jobs or income level?
  • Started a business from home?

Why it matters: Major life changes often signal a need for life insurance updates or business endorsements.

✅ Action: Revisit your beneficiaries, income replacement needs, and business use clauses.

 

4. Are Your Valuables Properly Covered?

  • Jewelry, collectibles, guns, or electronics?
  • Anything stored offsite or in a storage unit?

Why it matters: Standard homeowners policies limit coverage on high-value items unless specifically listed.

✅ Action: Ask about scheduled personal property endorsements.

 

5. When’s the Last Time You Compared Rates?

Even if nothing’s changed, your rates may have — or your current carrier may no longer be the best fit.

Why it matters: Rates shift annually. You could be overpaying for the same coverage.

✅ Action: Get a no-obligation competitive analysis quote from an independent agent (hey, that’s me!).
