Protect what matters most, and save an additional 2% with the Bundle group plan through Travelers.

KSA Insurance Agency is an independent agency. We shop multiple carriers for your home and auto coverage, and when Travelers is the right fit, Bundle clients get an additional 2% discount on top of the discounts Travelers already offers. We quote your insurance and check the home's claims history before you write the contract or during any contingency period, and your agent already knows your closing date because he is on the same team as your lender.

Insurance before the contract

Know the insurance price and claims history while you can still walk away

Most buyers learn what the insurance costs, and what the house has been through, after they can no longer get out of the contract. KSA gets you the quote before you write the contract, or at the latest during your contingency period, so you know while you still have a choice.

The CLUE report shows claims that insurers reported on the property, for up to seven years. A clean report does not guarantee a home has no problems, and not every insurer reports every claim. Quotes are subject to underwriting, the home inspection and carrier approval. Reports are run with the buyer's permission as part of an insurance application.

  1. Quote before you write the contract. KSA quotes your homeowners and auto coverage before you write the contract, or during any contingency period, so the real insurance premium is in your payment while you can still get out of the contract.
  2. Claims history check. With your permission, KSA runs a CLUE property loss report (Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange), which lists insurance claims reported on the home for up to seven years.
  3. Ask the right questions. If claims show up, your Realtor asks the seller what happened and what was repaired, and requests the receipts, permits and contractor invoices.
  4. Confirm at the inspection. Your inspector looks closely at the same areas, such as the roof, plumbing or basement, so repairs are verified during the contingency period and not after closing.

The additional 2% discount

How the Bundle discount works

Group plans let a carrier price a defined group of policyholders together. KSA has that arrangement with Travelers for HomeBuyers Bundle clients. Close your purchase through the Bundle, place your eligible home and auto policies with Travelers, and they are written under the KSA group plan at an additional 2% discount.

On a $3,000 annual home and auto premium that is $60 every year you hold the policy, on top of the multi-policy and new-home discounts Travelers already offers. The additional 2% does not carry over to other carriers, but KSA still shops them, so you always get the better deal.

Straight answers

Insurance questions, answered plainly

What is the additional 2% HomeBuyers Bundle discount?

KSA Insurance Agency maintains a HomeBuyers Bundle group plan with Travelers. When you close your purchase through the Bundle and your home or auto policy is written with Travelers, eligible premiums receive an additional 2% discount under the group plan. It is in addition to any multi-policy or new-home discounts Travelers already offers.

Is KSA tied to one insurance company?

No. KSA is an independent agency, which means we represent multiple carriers and shop them against each other for your coverage and price. The additional 2% discount is only available on Travelers policies. If another carrier is the better fit, we will tell you and place you there; you simply will not receive the group discount on that policy.

Do I have to buy insurance from KSA to get the mortgage savings?

No. Each piece of the Bundle stands on its own. The additional 2% Travelers discount is a benefit for clients who choose KSA; the mortgage pricing depends on being pre-approved by First Meridian first and using Kevin, Bridget or a designated Referral Agent Partner as your buyer's agent.

What is a CLUE report, and why does KSA run one before I am locked into a contract?

A CLUE report (Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange) is a record of insurance claims reported on a property, kept by LexisNexis for up to seven years. Insurers use it to decide whether to write a policy and what to charge, and the claims follow the home, not just the owner. With your permission, KSA checks it when we quote your insurance, before you write the contract or during any contingency period. The key is to know before you have no ability to get out of the contract. You learn the real premium, your Realtor learns what to ask the seller, and the inspector knows where to look. It is not a guarantee: a clean report does not mean a home has no problems, and some claims are never reported.

When should I get my homeowners quote?

Before you write the contract, or during any contingency period. The key is to know before you have no ability to get out of the contract. A quote at that point tells you the real premium for your payment, and the claims history check shows what the home has been through. Your lender also needs proof of insurance before closing, so quoting early leaves time to compare carriers and fix surprises such as roof age or prior claims without delaying settlement.

What lines do you write?

Homeowners, condo and renters, auto, umbrella, life, flood, landlord and small business coverage, in Virginia and surrounding states depending on carrier.
