Residential Real Estate
Wildfire Challenges
Insurance
Insurance premiums are rising at astronomical rates and still leave homeowners with a policy that is under insured. Some homeowners even face going without any coverage at all, leaving the property and all their belongings at risk.
Inspections and Local Regulations
The AB38 inspection is one of many that will be required during the wildfire mitigation process. Depending on the homeowner's location, you may be required by local laws to implement certain products/procedures. Navigating all of these can be overwhelming for homeowners and realtors.
Wildfire Mitigation Steps
Identifying everything that needs to be done to mitigate wildfire potential is a daunting task. Just doing a few of the steps leaves the property vulnerable to different potential ignition sources. True wildfire mitigation is an intensive and ongoing process, but when done right it can ensure the property and all belongings are protected.
