Why are new Homes in Wenatchee cheap to insure?

Image
At Wenatchee Insurance , we get this question a lot about new homes and the price of insurance. Central Washington residents love buying new construction homes in Quincy, Leavenworth, Lake Chelan, Entiat, and all around the countryside. There are definitely hot, new built homes in the area.  It's great to move to a brand-new home and not have to worry about anything other than how to set up your internet service and have enough storage space. Typically, there is no painting, no repairs, no cleaning out the back corner of the basement, or other hassles that come with a pre-existing home purchase. One of the other things that people take comfort in when they purchase a new build is that the cost of insurance is incredibly cheap compared to older homes. We are often asked how this is possible. There are a bunch of factors at work. Let's take a closer look! Number one on the list is going to be the fact that the house is shiny with the new house smell. Seems obvious right? Think o...

Are you paying too much for home insurance?

Image
  At Wenatchee Insurance , we like to know why a possible new client in Chelan/Douglas County is searching for new coverage with us.  Yup, the answers vary, but we do see some trends, and usually that is centered around price.  Who doesn't think about price these days? Buyers have more options than ever and the elusive better deal is sometimes not elusive at all.  Are you paying too much for insurance? People don't want to overpay. Plain and simple. You'll see the majority of advertisements focus on helping customers save money. $300 billion a year spent on advertising proves this to be the case. Companies want to keep saving money front of mind, and when it comes to saving money, they want to stand out ahead of the competition to bring that buyer in-house versus going with someone else.  For the consumer, the big question, am I paying too much? Trusting the companies that advertise to them isn't the best strategy. Never treat good marketing as equali...

Why is Inclusive Business important with insurance?

Image
  Feeling safe is important. At home, at work, and walking around town. There have been days we walked into stores throughout the years and felt uncomfortable because we didn’t fit the white heteronormative image of a "standard" consumer. It didn’t feel right when we were talked down to. We knew that there was a better way and built our insurance agency around inclusivity. We asked questions like: Human : Why is inclusive business important ? AI : Inclusive business is important because it seeks to create economic opportunities for marginalized groups such as those living in poverty, the disabled, and women. By extending economic opportunities to diverse social and economic structures, inclusive businesses can contribute to economic growth, create jobs, and reduce poverty . Additionally, inclusive businesses can also help create a more equitable society, by reducing inequality and enabling those from underprivileged backgrounds to access economic opportunities. ...

Image
What happens when your favorite radio personality get's let go from their radio station? Do you move on? We get nerdy over Star Wars and listened for years while we drove our son to school.

She could have left the area but this was home despite being raised on the East Coast! This is what we have to say about the Bear On the Air Project. This online radio station is launching February 1st. From what we have seen, it is amazing work by Nikki. We met Nikki back from her days with KPQ and doing the morning show. It would be a crime to let leave the area.

How a health issue became political.

Image
Let's look at the beginning and problems: If you listen to one of the protest groups then you hear a lot of statements concerning the Constitutionality of Governor's Inslees stay at home orders. When you start look at the history of our country then you see that pandemics are nothing new. While  George Washington  Battled the British, he was also battling smallpox, not only did he use quarantines, he also used mandated vaccines. George  Washington wrote a letter to the President of Congress in 1787 , concerning the necessary central authority to "provide for the Interest and Safety of all"states.  Covid 19 didn't disappear in a miracle nor did it weaken " when we get into April " as Trump was early to downplay the pandemic. There are multiple accounts of the federal government taking needed supplies from states.  1.   2.    3.   4 .  while sending them to foreign countries like  China . A  whistleblower...
