Jason Storey is the BEST…

Jason Storey is my broker and he is one of the best I’ve ever had (and I used to be one HA for 9 years). He set up a new policy for me in April. He was quick, effective, and got me the information I needed! He set up the policy within days.

I’ve had an accident and he’s been so helpful and understanding and supportive.

Home Insurance FAQs

You will need the following information to ensure quote accuracy while getting quotes from the top home insurance companies in Canada:

  • Your personal home insurance claims history

We provide affordable home insurance in BC to look after the bricks and mortar part of your home, as well as your possessions inside. You can get online insurance to protect against fire, fixes and repairs.

You can be covered from inclement weather such as wind, hail and lightning. Our coverage also extends to protect your valuables from theft.

Depending where you live in, some home insurance coverages might be required in a home insurance policy in BC. For instance, if you live in an area that has high winds, windstorm coverage might be mandatory in a home insurance policy.

If you’re curious about other potential coverages you can add to your home insurance policy that aren’t required, your Surex Personal Assistant will be able to explain the benefits of adding coverage, as well as let you know how it’ll impact your annual home insurance premiums.
