February Luncheon: Home Insurance as a Deal-Making Tool

Join us for our next Women’s Council of REALTORS® Luncheon featuring Mark Gouge from Starr Matthews, as we take a practical look at how home insurance plays a critical role in successful real estate transactions.

Home insurance is often treated as a last-step checkbox—but it can reveal important information that impacts pricing, negotiations, timelines, and even deal viability. In this session, Mark will walk through real-world examples of how insurance considerations can help agents better protect their clients and navigate potential pitfalls before closing.

What we’ll cover:

• Common issues that delay or derail closings—and how to anticipate them
• Insurance considerations that affect older homes, renovations, and unique properties
• How agents can collaborate more effectively with insurance professionals

Whether you work with first-time buyers, investors, or seasoned homeowners, this conversation will give you another tool to strengthen your transactions and serve your clients with confidence.

Non-member REALTORS® are welcome and encouraged to attend, and current members are invited to bring a friend who might benefit from the community we’re building. Non-member REALTORS® may attend luncheons as a visitor up to two times with ticket purchase.
