So, you finally bought your dream home—whether it’s a charming craftsman in Wenatchee, a cozy cabin in Leavenworth, or a fixer-upper in Okanogan that “just needs a little love” (aka a total gut job). Now, before you get lost debating which shade of “rustic sage” to paint the kitchen, let’s talk about home insurance—because you’re going to need it when a windstorm turns your backyard trampoline into your neighbor’s new patio furniture.
But don’t worry! Shayla at Wenatchee Insurance is here to save your budget, your sanity, and maybe even that questionable fence you keep saying you’ll fix “next summer.”
1. Bundle Up Like It’s January in Winthrop
You wouldn’t survive a Methow Valley winter in just a T-shirt, so why would you buy home insurance without bundling it? If you’ve already got auto, life, or even farm insurance, Shayla can combine them to save you money—like when you buy apples by the box at Smallwood’s Harvest instead of one at a time.
2. Raise That Deductible—But Not Too High
A higher deductible means a lower premium, but let’s not get crazy. If your deductible is so high that you’d have to sell your fishing boat to cover it, you might want to reconsider. Shayla can help you find that perfect balance—somewhere between “too expensive” and “I’ll just live with the hole in my roof.”
3. Home Improvements = Lower Rates
You might be fixing up your home to impress the in-laws, but some upgrades can also slash your insurance bill. Things like a new roof, better wiring, or an anti-burglar system can earn you major discounts. Plus, if you’ve been putting off replacing that 1970s avocado-green carpet, now you have an excuse.
4. Shop Around Like It’s the Chelan Farmers Market
You wouldn’t just grab the first apple cider bottle you see—you compare prices and samples first. The same goes for insurance. Shayla has access to multiple providers and will do the price-hunting for you, so you don’t have to spend hours on hold with an insurance company in another time zone.
5. Only Pay for What You Need
Do you need hurricane insurance in Wenatchee? No. Do you need wildfire coverage? Absolutely. Shayla helps you customize your policy, so you’re paying for protection against things that could actually happen—like an elk crashing through your fence, not a tsunami.
6. Discounts Are Everywhere—If You Know Where to Look
There are discounts for first-time buyers, retirees, having good credit, and even installing a fire extinguisher. Shayla knows how to uncover these hidden savings, so you can keep more money for important things—like gas money for your next Leavenworth trip.
