Homebuyers Beware: Hurricane Season Can Impact Your Closing Date
Hurricane season officially began June 1, and for Gulf Coast homebuyers, that can mean more than just watching the weather forecast.
If you’re under contract or preparing to close on a home, hurricane season can affect insurance coverage, flood insurance timing, and even your closing date.
In this week’s video, we discuss:
* Why homeowners insurance should be bound early
* How named storms can impact closings
* When flood insurance becomes effective
* What buyers should do before hurricane threats develop
* Tips to avoid last-minute surprises during the mortgage process
Planning ahead can help keep your home purchase on track—even during storm season.
