Choosing the right insurance starts with understanding what type of property you own. At Ball Group Insurance, we help homeowners and condo owners in Fort Wayne, IN, and nearby communities find coverage that protects their property, belongings, and financial future.

Although both policies help safeguard your investment, condo insurance and homeowners insurance provide different types of protection. A homeowners insurance policy typically covers the entire house, including the roof, exterior walls, foundation, attached structures, personal belongings, liability, and additional living expenses after a covered loss.

Condo insurance, often called an HO-6 policy, is designed for condominium owners. While the condo association's master policy usually covers the building's exterior and shared areas, your condo insurance protects the interior of your unit, including walls, flooring, cabinets, personal belongings, liability, and certain improvements you've made to the property. Depending on your association's master policy, you may need additional coverage for items that aren't included.

Understanding these differences is important when choosing the right level of protection. Ball Group Insurance can help you review your condo association's master policy, identify any coverage gaps, and compare options from multiple insurance carriers to ensure you're properly protected without paying for unnecessary coverage.

Whether you own a condo or a single-family home, selecting the right insurance policy provides confidence that your property and finances are protected when unexpected events occur.
