What's covered?
At Northbrook we work with you to ensure that all the gaps are filled and determine the proper amount of coverage to ensure that you are covered in the event of a claim. To determine the proper amount of insurance we estimate the replacement cost (with current market values) of your personal belongings in your condo, as well as any betterments and improvements completed by you or the previous owner. Condo insurance lets you rest assured knowing that you are fully covered!
