Insurance company for first time home buyer Multifamily property

[Carlos Martinez]

Hello,

I would like to know if you guys have any insurance company suggestions for a first time buyer. I have a Geico Insurance for my vehicle but the quote seems a bit expensive. 

Also, is this something my agent should be helping me with? He said after the house went into contract is basically on the lawyer's hands. I also have to pay him out my pocket an amount after closing, since the seller's  agent wouldn't share more than 1% of commission apparently.

Good real estate agents normally have recommendations when it comes to any real estate needs whether it's attorneys, lenders, insurance brokers, GCs etc. Legally they can't be shopping for a quote for you but they can definitely share a few contacts, especially if their past clients had good experience with these specialists.
