Know what it costs to insure — before you make an offer
Insurance is now one of the biggest hidden costs of homeownership — and in some ZIP codes, you can't get it at all. CoverGuard gives you a 90-second multi-peril CoverGuard Record and modeled carrier availability on any US address, so you go into every showing with your eyes open.
1 free property search · No credit card required · Results in 90 seconds
Buy your home with insurance intelligence on your side
The last thing you want is to find out — two weeks from closing — that the only carrier who will write the property is quoting 3x what you budgeted. CoverGuard surfaces that risk before you're under contract.
- See flood, fire, wind, earthquake, and crime risk in one Record
- Find out which insurance carriers are still writing in that ZIP code
- Estimate what homeowners insurance will actually cost — before closing
- Compare risk profiles across properties you’re considering
- Catch uninsurable properties before you waste an offer on one
- Share your findings with your agent, lender, or family
Before CoverGuard
“We were a week from closing when our insurance fell through. The only carrier writing the property wanted $6,200/year — way over our budget.”
After CoverGuard
“We pulled a CoverGuard Record on every house we toured. It flagged the one in a fire zone before we even made an offer — we ended up in a home with real coverage options.”

Common questions from home buyers
Is it really free?
Every CoverGuard account starts free with 1 property search and 5 Advisor questions — no credit card required. Need more? Home Buyer Pro is $4.99/month.
How accurate is the data?
CoverGuard aggregates data from FEMA, USGS, NOAA, Cal Fire, FBI crime stats, and carrier availability data — the same data professional underwriters use.
Do I need to be buying a home to use it?
No. Homeowners and renters use CoverGuard too — to audit their current coverage, prepare for a move, or understand risk in neighborhoods they’re exploring.
Will this replace my insurance agent?
No — it makes you a better client. CoverGuard arms you with the risk data and carrier availability, so your agent can focus on finding the right policy, not explaining the basics.
