Realtors that also offer home insurance?
I am not sure how common this is but in my area, there are a few realtor companies who also offer home insurance. I would have never thought to put those two together but it makes sense on a business standpoint. I would imagine there are people who deal with house sales and people who deal with insurance since both require different education and licenses. Is this something you have seen before?

That's a good question. I believe some realtors offer it, but for the most part I don't think most realtors do. I suppose you could ask just in case. I myself don't offer insurance, but I know insurance companies nearby and when I sell a house I usually suggest a good insurance company.
