☀️ June in the Borderland

School's out and Rainy Lake is calling! June is one of my favorite months up here — the days are long, the water is warm, and families are finally making their way out to do what we do love to do in the Borderland.

If you're looking for what's happening around town this summer, the International Falls Area Chamber of Commerce is a great place to start.

Before you head out on the water this season, a friendly reminder from your neighbor — life jackets save lives. Every person, every trip, no exceptions. 🦺 And it's also a good time to make sure your boat and watercraft coverage is in good shape before you launch. A standard homeowners policy may not go as far as you think when you're out on Rainy Lake.

My team is happy to take a quick look and make sure your family is protected — on the water and everywhere else. Give us a call or a text. We're always close by. 😀

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is my snowmobile covered under my homeowners insurance in Minnesota?

This is one of the most common misconceptions we hear in International Falls. Standard homeowners policies typically provide only limited coverage for snowmobiles when stored on your property — and that coverage may not extend to collision, trail liability, or theft away from home. The same gaps can apply to ATVs and boats. If you are not sure what your current policy covers, give us a call or text and we will walk through it with you. No pressure, just answers.

Why should I work with a local insurance agent instead of buying insurance online?

Online companies make it easy to get a quick quote — but a quote is not the same as the right coverage. When something goes wrong, you want someone who knows you and can advocate for you. We have been doing exactly that in International Falls since 1982. We offer personal guidance, plain-English explanations, and real people who answer the phone — for auto, home, life, business, and recreational vehicle coverage all in one place.

How do I know if I have enough insurance coverage?

Most people find out they are underinsured after a loss. Construction costs in northern Minnesota have risen significantly, so your home may cost more to rebuild than your policy reflects. If you have added a vehicle, recreational equipment, or experienced a major life change since your last review, your coverage may need an update. We recommend a quick review at least once a year. Call or text us to schedule a no-obligation coverage review today.
