This is when you allow a merchant to withdraw a specific amount on on certain date from your bank account. This can be very convenient. For one, many companies will give a discount for allowing them to do this. Two, you don't have to worry if your payment is going to be late or if you forgot to send a payment. This is a growing trend that almost all companies provide.

Whether you are escrowed or not, you have the option of choosing who you want for your insurance company. However, if you don't provide your own insurance the mortgage company will place their's for you. The mortgage company's policy only covers the house not your personal property. It also is usually twice as expensive as you could get it yourself. It usually doesn't cover the amount you need in case the house i...]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:38:48 -0600</pubDate><guid>http://www.reliableins.net/blog.aspx?entry=b9885607-30fc-42c5-b82c-fc5427cd85ba</guid></item><item><title>Insurance Agents vs Internet Companies</title><link>http://www.reliableins.net/blog.aspx?entry=b2339d0a-8ba1-4992-8f3f-05781acee77e</link><description><![CDATA[Both have their good  and bad points. Isn't there some middle ground? So lets talk about both sides.

Internet companies are available 24/7 for quotes, claims, make payments and to make changes. However, they usually have so many customers and employees you never talk to the same person twice. Then you just become a number.

On the other hand, agents you get do get to develop that personal relationship. But, most agents don't have the 24/7 ability like the big companies.

What if there was...]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2009 11:50:50 -0500</pubDate><guid>http://www.reliableins.net/blog.aspx?entry=b2339d0a-8ba1-4992-8f3f-05781acee77e</guid></item><item><title>Reliable Insurance Supports Katy Tigers Football </title><link>http://www.reliableins.net/blog.aspx?entry=f1cd40ca-c93a-4e0b-be4b-185f36cc0035</link><description><![CDATA[Congradulations to the Tigers on a 35-17 victory over the west coast powerhouse Bellvue. I would just like to say "Welcome to Texas football". Next week Katy plays another tough opponent against FM Marcus. The game will be held in Waco ISD Stadium on 9/19/09 at 1 pm. It looks to be a showdown between two tough teams. It's always fun to watch a Dallas area team play a Houston area team for bragging rights. Go Katy Tigers!

It's a simple question and answer. Whenever you talk to big companies you may never get to talk to the same person twice. You never get to develope that relationship. When you make these connections with them you are more likely to get exceptions or longer grace periods on payments, etc. Big companies also have big expenses. They pour money into tv, radio, internet, yellowpages, stadium sponsorship, etc....]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2009 09:52:30 -0500</pubDate><guid>http://www.reliableins.net/blog.aspx?entry=6dc5db72-fed3-40f3-be33-7a8fef4d9c38</guid></item><item><title>How much coverage do you really need?</title><link>http://www.reliableins.net/blog.aspx?entry=681c68c9-b56c-4d86-97f9-9319e2904196</link><description><![CDATA[A lot of insurance companies will over and under value home, or not provide you with the best type of policy for your needs (eg&nbsp; A, A+, B).

After Rita and Ike we can't take any chance. Your home insurance does NOT cover flood. No home insurance in the country covers flood coverage. Just cause we are not in hurricane season doesn't mean you can't flood. If a heavy&nbsp;April rain, like we just had, hits your area you could be at risk.&nbsp;Also, if you are not in a&nbsp;high risk flood zone doesn't mean you can't flood.&nbsp;&nbsp;The easiest way to describe the difference in what home and flood cover...]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2009 10:32:48 -0500</pubDate><guid>http://www.reliableins.net/blog.aspx?entry=04b0997b-2efa-4208-a0af-20b60d9afa1a</guid></item><item><title>Home Insurance Safety Tips</title><link>http://www.reliableins.net/blog.aspx?entry=2b714717-1bbc-4b21-b6c5-78c77e5dd768</link><description><![CDATA[The biggest cause of house fires is the stove. Always remember to turn your stove off and never leave rags next to the burner. You should also have your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors&nbsp;checked every 6 months.
