Safeco offers many ways to save your homeowners insurance:

Safeco offers homeowner insurance policies that will cover your mortgage company requirements, your home, liability and your belongings inside:

Safeco's home insurance policies also offer helpful optional coverages:

In general, Safeco insures 1-4 unit family residential dwellings that are well maintained and show pride of ownership.

So Safeco seeks to insure responsible property owners who practice prudent upkeep and maintenance of their property.

Safeco requires occupancy of the home being insured. This means a home insured under a Safeco Homeowners Insurance Policy needs to be currently occupied by the named insured.

Safeco is not a market for:

• fixer uppers
• flips
• homes listed for sale
• homes on an historic registry
• homes under construction
• homes undergoing extensive renovations
• spec homes
• vacant homes

Safeco does not inspect all homes that are insured with them. Safeco's expectation is that the writing agent is familiar with the home and has verified that it is free of any maintenance or liability concerns.

High value home inspections (interior & exterior) are ordered for dwellings with higher replacement costs.

The Safeco Package deal discount offers the best combination of savings, convenience and coverage available when you combine your home and auto coverages. According to Safeco's website there are three main reasons to choose the Package:

Big Savings

• Save up to 15 percent. Combine your home and auto policies as a Safeco Package.
• Single loss deductible. If your car, motorcycle, boat or RV insured with Safeco is damaged in the same event as your home, you may only have to pay one deductible. For example, if a tree falls and damages both your garage and your car, we'll waive your auto deductible after your home deductible is paid.

Convenience

• Choose between a six month and an annual auto policy. With annual auto, you can align the renewal period and effective dates of your homeowners and auto policies. Plus, your auto premium is set for 12 months, so you know exactly how much your payments will be.
• Combined billing statements give you a single bill for all your policies, providing more efficiency and convenience.
• By aligning renewal dates, customers receive their policies in the same envelope, providing more simplicity and less paperwork.

Comprehensive Protection, Flexible Options

• Coverage options. Choose from multiple coverage options for both your home and auto policies.
• Coverage enhancements. Strengthen your coverage with optional enhancements like equipment breakdown coverage for your home and Roadside Assistance for your car.
• 24/7 claims. Get fast, fair and hassle-free claims service at any time on any day of the year.

Here are some Safeco Homeowners Insurance reviews from actual Safeco homeowners insurance customers:

"We came back from 4 days vacation and found a water leak in our master bathroom, bedroom, and walk-in closet. My insurance company for years is Safeco, for our cars, home, and my rental property. When I placed the call I found the person being so helpful and compassionate.

A company came in and did all the restoration, paid in full by my insurance, they sent an adjuster to get us a quote about replacement and we are making a list of all materials that have been damaged and need to be replaced. Tyler returned our calls each time in less than an hour, emails even faster than that. I am so happy we did not change our insurance company."

"I recently had a loss on a rental property, a huge fire loss of about 130K. I cannot say enough about the adjuster Pam Z. Even though she is carrying a large number of claims to deal with she was very responsive throughout the whole process. She made sure the contractor did what he said he would do and the home came out very nice."

"I've had Safeco Insurance for about 30 years. I absolutely love my agent. He is always extremely helpful and professional. I accidentally left my water running on hot in my utility room on the main floor with a daylight basement below. Needless to say half the house needed repair.

They were amazing to work with. Even though the repairs were over $100,000, they fixed everything and put me up in an apartment for six months while repairs were being made and paid to move me there. I would highly recommend them to anyone."
