Compensation for the death of insured under householder policy.
Not everyone buys householder insurance, after the mandatory homeowner insurance as a prerequisite for the bank house loan. Even more shocking, most insured will not have fire or homeowner after settling the housing loan. What more to say the householder insurance.
The question of why the owner does not purchase householder policy? isn’t the fault of the intermediary or the house owner. Let us find out.
Most agents after hearing the owner had a housing loan with the bank. The agent applies the hand brake. Why not cross-selling for the householder product to the insured, beside the car insurance?

Corporate Client
I had a corporate client called me one day, ” Mr. Jamin, would you come over to my residence to discuss the householder policy?” Initially, I was a bit reluctant to affirm the yes answer. After he gave a few calls me.
” Mr. Robert, let us make on this Saturday evening at your home,” I confirmed it. After a long thought, I gave in to him, as his factory insured Marine open cover with a yearly sum insured valued more than US$ 80 million plus with plus or minus 5. Besides he also insured with me ten types of factory policies namely, fire, business interruption on machinery breakdown, Consequential loss, Money in transit and in premises, public liability, product liability, Group personal accident, employer benefit, burglary, and fidelity guarantee.
Flight Delay
On my arrival, the maid invited me into their mansion with an outdoor Olympic size swimming pool.
“Mr. Jamin, please be seated, my boss called her an hour ago the flight from a neighbor capital delay by 30 minutes. Would you like to a have a coffee or tea, sir?” she continued ” If you are feeling a bit boring, I ask 3 gardeners to accompany around to see the flower and our own organic vegetable plot. Please make it into your home.”
The insured arrived home 15 minutes pasted 6.pm.
The couple said sorry profusely for the 30 minutes late.” The factory has an unexpected crisis crop out. We settle immediately but too late to catch the last flight home last night. All morning seats fully booked due to the weekend.”
The insured felt the previous agent did not have an in-depth knowledge of insurance matter. The agent had lumped all the content of 2 million dollars in one sentence.
