I see buyers getting surprised by this often when buying older buildings.The more time you give an agent to quote the better the chances of getting a competitive rate - a lot of buyers start calling agents when they are going to close and want it NOW NOW NOW> you will pay more this way.Give the insurance agent a week or two to shop the rate and get the agent accurate documentation proving the age of updates to the roof, electrical, plumbing, hvac, etc and good photos of the property to allow them to sell the property to underwriting.A lot of people don't realize two sales are made for an insurance policy - one to underwriting and one to the person buying the policy.
