Owner-occupied quote review
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What assumptions did the agent enter? | Roof year, square footage, protection class, and prior losses all matter. |
| Does the quote match lender rules? | Mortgagee wording and deductible limits can affect closing. |
| What is excluded or sublimited? | Flood, earth movement, vacancy, and business use need direct review. |
| What follow-up documents are likely? | Permits, photos, and inspections often answer underwriting questions. |
