What should homebuyers know about homeowners insurance before buying a home?

Homeowners insurance is more than another line item at closing. For most financed purchases, your lender will require coverage before the loan can be funded, but understanding the policy matters just as much as having one.
A few things buyers should know:
• Coverage varies. Policy limits, deductibles, exclusions, and available protections can differ significantly.
• Flood insurance is separate. A standard homeowners policy generally does not cover flood damage.
• The cost matters before you buy. Insurance premiums become part of the ongoing cost of owning the home and can affect your monthly housing expense.
• Start early. Getting quotes during the buying process gives you time to understand the coverage and compare options before closing.

Especially when buying a home in Lafayette or Acadiana, insurance should be part of the conversation early—not something discovered at the closing table.
Good coverage today. Peace of mind tomorrow.

What should you look for during the final walk-through before closing on a home?

The final walk-through is one of the last steps before becoming a homeowner. It isn’t another home inspection. It’s your opportunity to confirm that the property is in substantially the same condition as when you went under contract and that agreed-upon items have been addressed.

Before closing, buyers should:

• Confirm agreed repairs and concessions were completed
• Check the home for any new damage or significant changes
• Verify appliances, fixtures, and other items included in the sale remain in place
• Look for last-minute issues that could affect the property
• Ask questions about anything that doesn’t look right before signing

The goal is simple: make sure the home you’re about to purchase is the home you agreed to purchase.

One last look before the keys become yours.

What are closing costs when buying a home in Louisiana?

Closing costs are the expenses required to complete a real estate transaction beyond the purchase price of the home. For buyers, they can include lender fees, title and settlement expenses, recording fees, homeowners insurance, prepaid taxes and insurance, and other transaction-specific costs.

Some costs are relatively standard. Others may be negotiable between the buyer and seller. Your lender’s Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure help show what you should expect to pay and how those numbers change before closing.

For homebuyers in Lafayette and Acadiana, understanding these expenses early in the process makes it easier to build a realistic budget and avoid surprises at the closing table.

Know the numbers before you sign.

What does title insurance protect when buying a home in Louisiana?

Title insurance helps protect a homeowner from certain ownership problems that may already exist when the property is purchased — things like unknown liens, errors in public records, ownership claims, or other title defects.

Unlike homeowners insurance, an owner’s title insurance policy generally involves a one-time premium paid at closing and protects against covered title issues tied to the property’s past.

For buyers in Lafayette and Acadiana, understanding title insurance is one more part of understanding exactly what you’re agreeing to before you get to the closing table.

Clear title. Confident ownership.
