February 2026: Asking for a Friend
Insurance can be confusing — and most people have questions they feel like they should already know the answer to.
That’s where Asking for a Friend comes in.
This monthly feature tackles real insurance questions we hear all the time — the ones people hesitate to ask because they don’t want to sound uninformed. (Spoiler: you’re not.)
No jargon. No judgment. Just clear, honest answers to help you make sense of how coverage actually works in real life.
Have a question of your own?
You’re probably not the only one wondering.
We’ll answer one or more questions each month — anonymously — in our newsletter and on the blog.
👀 ASKING FOR A FRIEND
JANUARY 2026
Who handles homeowners' insurance when you sell your home?
Selling your home is stressful—we can take some of the stress off with this one...
The question:
If I sell my home, who cancels the homeowners' insurance?
This one is really clear-cut:
The only person who can make cancellations and changes to any kind of policy is the
Named Insured.
Therefore, if you sell your home, neither your lender nor your Realtor® can cancel your policy. It must be done by the named insured... most likely, you!
Not sure how to handle this? We’re happy to walk through it with you.
