Having one son a two time Olympian in the sport of luge (A.J. Rosen- Turin 2006, and Whistler 2010), and another son, Brett who competed on behalf of great Britain as part of the Great Britain National Baseball Team last year, and who is hoping to be selected this year too, one of the first things that comes to mind is possible injury and insurance! A key part of my sons’ travel arrangements is to ensure that their medical coverage is up to date, and they would be covered should anything occur either in the travel process or through the sports themselves. While A.J. has the benefit this year with traveling with the Canadian Luge Team, in the past, the mode of travel was left to both he and his coach, and so insurance coverage was a necessity. Mishaps can always occur, and so it is always nice to know that you can rely on a good insurance company. It is nice to know that daily insurance can be obtained, be it in the UK or Europe, and on a one day basis if required for low rates too. While my son never experienced a motor breakdown, we all know it can happen, and it is nice to know that you are covered before making that much anticipated trip!

 Being a Realtor in Westchester County, good home insurance is a necessity! Many of my clients will and do utilize their car insurance companies for their home also. The banks will not grant a mortgage in the United States unless that home has insurance. Normally it takes a claim to first find out exactly how good your insurance company is. Whether you live in the Untied States or reside in Europe, seek out the top ten insurance companies, research, and then look for the plan that is right for you. Does it have a legal hotline, small coverage, large coverage, accidental coverage , does it give you a detailed breakdown of the coverage so no surprises? Home Insurance is important. Do your research, and choose wisely.

 Buying a home should be fun too. Choose your agent wisely also!
