Calculate Your Life Insurance Needs With The LIFE App

You know you need life insurance to protect your family or business, but how do you figure out exactly how much you should purchase? Why not download an app?

The non-profit LIFE Foundation has released a new life insurance needs calculator app for the iPhone and iPad.

Simply download and install the app on your iPhone or iPad and follow the instructions. The app will give you a good indication of exactly how much life insurance coverage you need.

For more information about Florida life insurance give me a call at Fuller Insurance. ###

Insurance Companies Feature On Fuller Insurance Home Page

I am pleased to announce a new feature on the Fuller Insurance Home Page: the Insurance Companies page.

More than just a list of insurance companies, the Insurance Companies page gives you quick access to telephone numbers to file a claim and make a payment.

If the insurance company offers internet access to your policy or internet access to make a payment, you will find a big green check mark - click the check mark to connect directly to the insurance company's web site.

It's easy to find the Insurance Companies page: From the Fuller Insurance home page, just scroll down until you see the gray links bar and click on Insurance Companies.

Check it out and post your feedback on our insurance blog. Thanks!

Trusted Choice Brand Launches New Website

Trusted Choice, the brand of the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America, recently launched a new consumer website. This new website is much better than the old one and includes great information on auto insurance, homeowners insurance, life/health insurance, and business insurance.

Use Google Earth To View Flood Insurance Information

Do you ever wonder how FEMA decides where a flood zone starts and ends? If you could get a "bird's eye view" of the area you could see the natural tidal flows, streams, lakes, and other features that go into determining the flood zones. Now with Google Earth and FEMA's Stay Dry application, you can see the topography and the flood zones in your neighborhood.

How do you get started? First, download Google Earth and install it on your computer (it is free). Then download the Stay Dry application from FEMA's website (save it to your desktop so you can find it later). You can also download the FEMA NFHL application, but it has much more data and can be a little more difficult to use. If you are just interested in looking at flood zones, then the Stay Dry application is the way to go.

After you install Google Earth and Stay Dry, simply double click the Stay Dry icon. Google Earth will launch and load the Stay Dry application - instructions will display to tell you how to use the program and read the maps. If you are a real estate agent, mortgage broker, banker, or work in the real estate business you need to have this loaded on your computer - it's great information.

For more information about flood insurance give us a call at Fuller Insurance toll free: 877-397-6681.

Create A Home Inventory With www.KnowYourStuff.org

Don't wait until you have a claim to figure out what you own. Whether it is a hurricane, fire, or burglary, the best way to make a full recovery from your insurance company is to have a comprehensive list of your contents or home inventory. You can create a home inventory today using the Insurance Information Institute's free www.KnowYourStuff.org website.

Know Your Stuff lets you enter your items by room and upload photos and scanned receipts. You can sort your items by date of purchase, price, or type (such as major appliances, silver, or jewelry) or create your own custom categories.

When your list is complete, you can print it out, save it to your computer, email it, or burn it to a CD. Be sure to email a copy of your list to your insurance agent  - that way they have the information at hand in case you need to file a claim.

For more information about the Insurance Information Institute or www.KnowYourStuff.org, call Fuller Insuranceat 850-622-5283. Fuller Insurance is your local Trusted Choice agent serving Walton County, Florida and the communities of Destin, Miramar Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, Panama City Beach, and Freeport, Florida.

New Web Site For Fuller Insurance

(Fixed a couple of links)

I have finally finished "phase 1" of the new Fuller Insurance web site. You can view our new web site at www.FullerInsurance.us. Our new web site features more information about our insurance agency, who we are (including pictures of all the employees), and what we do.

In addition to our new Fuller Insurance Blog, you can also become a Fan on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. You can even Digg pages you like in our web site.

The next phase of our web site will include links to pay your insurance bills on-line, insurance educational videos, and more content about specific types of insurance policies.

As an FYI, I designed the new website myself using Coffee Cup Visual Site Designer.
