Home insurance in Petoskey, Michigan.
A wider mix of property than anywhere else we write.
Petoskey holds the broadest range of housing in this part of the state. In-town homes, historic property, condominiums, bay-view houses and a substantial number of second homes owned by people whose primary residence is somewhere else entirely.
That last category deserves attention. A second home is not underwritten like a primary residence, and a policy written on the wrong assumption about occupancy is a policy with a problem in it. So is a condominium, where the association master policy covers some of the building and your unit policy has to cover exactly the part it does not.
Rebuild costs in this market have also moved. Coverage set several years ago against local construction pricing may no longer reflect what it would actually cost to put the house back.
What we look at here.
- Second homes written as second homes, not as primary residences
- Remember, condominium unit coverage should be matched to the association master policy
- Contact us anytime that you would like to review your rebuild cost
- Ask us for a full household review across home, auto and umbrella

Questions we get asked.
- How is a second home insured differently?
- Occupancy is the difference. A house that stands empty for long stretches has a different freeze, water and theft profile, and carriers underwrite it separately.
- What does my condo policy need to cover?
- Whatever the association master policy does not, which varies by association. Bring the master policy documents and we will read them against your unit policy so there is no strip of building nobody is covering.
