What your lender needs, and when

Your mortgage company requires a homeowners policy in place before you close, with their information listed as the lienholder (the 'mortgagee clause'). It sounds technical, but we handle it every week. We'll make sure your policy is issued on time, the dec page gets to your lender and title company, and the mortgagee clause is worded exactly right so closing isn't held up.

  • Homeowners policy bound before closing
  • Correct mortgagee clause for your lender
  • Dec page sent to your title/escrow company
  • Coverage sized to rebuild cost, not just the purchase price
  • Wind/hail and roof coverage explained before you sign

Think beyond the house

A first home is the perfect time to bundle your homeowners and auto for a multi-policy discount, and to consider life insurance that would pay off the mortgage so your family always keeps the home. We'll lay out the options with zero pressure.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need to have homeowners insurance for closing?

Your policy needs to be active on or before your closing date, with proof sent to your lender and title company beforehand. We make sure it's ready in time.

What is a mortgagee clause?

It's the specific wording that lists your lender as the lienholder on your policy. Lenders require it, and we set it up correctly so your closing isn't delayed.

How much homeowners coverage do I need?

Enough to rebuild your home, which can differ from the purchase price. We calculate replacement cost and set your coverage there, not just at the sale price.

Can you work with my realtor and lender?

Absolutely — Myra partners with local agents and loan officers regularly and will coordinate directly with your team to keep closing on track.
