How to protect your most cherished possessions
If you’re like most people, there are certain items you own that you can’t imagine ever losing—possessions you deeply cherish or those that would be impossible to replace due to the cost of re-purchasing them or simply because they’re irreplaceable. And with the holidays here, you may be adding to those collections.
While your homeowners insurance is invaluable for covering the loss or destruction of many of your belongings (as well as damage to your home’s structure), your policy might provide only partial coverage for your most cherished items.
The good news is that you can still protect the things that matter to you most, even if they’re not fully covered under your homeowners, with a scheduled personal property endorsement that is tailored to meet your specific needs.
Not an easy name, but it can help you sleep better at night
A scheduled personal property endorsement is not something that everyone talks about, but we at Gilles Insurance Agency can help you determine if it would be a good fit for you. The first step begins with you. Look around your home and make a list of your cherished possessions. Be sure to consider the following:
- Jewelry
- Antiques
- Art
- Collections
- Musical instruments
- Silverware/China
- Autographed items
- Rare or one-of-a-kind items
Once you have taken an inventory, make the time to talk with us. We are always here to help you determine whether your prized possessions need more coverage than your current policy provides. We even have a specialty company that is just for collectibles and at a very reasonable premium.
Please keep in mind that it is wise to complete an inventory every year or so, because it’s easy to acquire new items over time that should be added to a scheduled personal property endorsement. It could be tragic to find yourself in a situation rendering you unable to replace what matters most to you. If you receive a special gift this holiday, be sure to call us at 740-990-7107 and get it added to your policy..

Here’s what customers are saying about Safeco Insurance®
“I've never had to file a claim with an insurance company before…I was certain that the whole thing was going to be a big hassle. I'm extremely pleased to report that my experience has been shockingly efficient, painless and dare I say it, pleasant. These days, one has such low expectations of customer care that when one genuinely feels cared for as I have, I felt compelled to share this feedback from a satisfied customer.”
Safeco customer, J. F.
