How to finish the review

  1. Mark uncertain answers instead of guessing.
  2. Attach the quote, declarations page, and form or endorsement that supports each answer.
  3. Ask the agent or carrier to resolve differences in writing.
  4. Repeat the same fields for every quote so price is compared on equal terms.
