Old article but still relevant

I came across this article when going through some stuff on my desk and although the article is from 2008 it still applies to today and what sellers can do to get ready for the sale of their home. Not only will you be able to inform the potential buyers and move offers and escrow along faster but you can possibly fix items a head of time and maybe get a better price for your home. Just a thought.

What you don't know CAN hurt you. A basic homeowners policy does not cover damage caused by earthquake, and if you have a policy in place already, the deductible is very likely higher than you might imagine. It is no coincidence, places all over the world really are ‘moving and shaking’ and the recent 7.2 earthquake in Mexico was felt by many, especially here in Southern California. Since we reside in one of the most active earthquake areas in the country, let’s take a moment to address this important subject and ways to mitigate potential loss.

Don’t wait until after an earthquake to think about the importance of planning and preparing for a natural disaster and it’s after-effects. Earthquake insurance does not have to be complicated, but there are several risk factors to consider before you decide to purchase this coverage.
