Here is an article I wrote last week at Parentables about how hard it seems but how easy it really is to save (a lot of) money on insurance.

Do your eyes glaze over when you see an insurance policy? Of course they do. Especially when it comes to something as unsexy as title insurance.

When we recently bought our first house, I got a letter from the title company that outlined some riveting stuff like location survey disclosures and arbitration policies.

Force Yourself to Read the Letters

Towards the end of the page called Title Insurance, the company explained that:

“While there is a slightly higher premium associated with the Enhanced Policy, the benefits provided by the expanded coverage far outweigh the additional costs. Accordingly we will assume that you request issuance of the Enhance Policy and its additional benefits unless you inform us of your preference for the limited title insurance policy.” (Italics mine.)

Translation: we will charge you a lot more money unless you call us to protest.

I hope you’ll read on at Parentables, where I blog twice a week, to find out how I got almost $800 in the bag with practically no effort. Read now.
