The best way to do it is to build a website that targets them. \nMake sure the site is a good online resource. Then do the foundation SEO work to grow the site to target terms like mexico realestate, homes in mexico, mexico second home, and many more related terms. Then do some ppc marketing for those same terms.\n\nUnfortunately there is no simple answer to your simple question. let me know if you need more guidance on this.

Have an appraisal done. An insurance agent might be helpful.

Try a local agent that sells homeowners insurance.  Here is a good directory:  http://www.insuremyhouse.com\nI would avoid online quote programs.  You end up without an agent that can help you if you have problems later.

There is really no good insurance agent. All they want to do is sell you the most expensive insurance product so that they can reap all the commissions out of you.\n\nTo overcome these agents, I would question everything and ask about other products. Then do your own research about those products and see which one is better for you.

You'll want to get 3 licenses:\nP&C license (Property & Casualty)\nLife & Health license\nSecurities License (Depending on the state that you live in, this could mean a Series 6 & 63 OR Series 7)\nThe reason is that most auto insurance agencies now sell auto, home, life and investments.  Even if you put a specialist in your office to sell the other stuff you will still need to have the licenses to get commissions on them.\nI would talk to Erie Insurance.  They sell as independent agents and offer more than one company.  This can be very important.  Lets say you own a State Farm agency and then six months from now they have a huge rate increase.  You lose half your customers and can't do anything about it.  Go independent and those same customers can call you up and you can rewrite them with a different company.

it is correct that each state has different laws on ins licensing-the best way one can study for a state insurance license is to interview with different ins companies- find one you have confidence in- that is to say--which one can teach you the  most about the ins business--not just enough to pass the state ins exam--that is not the most difficult part- who will train you about the ins and outs of ins selling and teach you how to counsel people and how to help people do whats best for them-that is financial and estate planning in its simplest forms- what co would you be proud to represent- that is ethical and honest in its marketing and sales practices--when i entered the ins industry in 1976 Connecticut General life had a reputation for great study and teaching of its agents, though it lacked some practicality in sales techniques--today consider the Principal Group- one of the largest ins cos around- used to be Bankers Life of Iowa--look at Prudential Financial- Connecticut Mutual-so many mergers have changed names and cos since the 80's and 90's- check around with some current agents and their cos- see if they are happy where they work- and what they thought of the co training they had--some cos have trainers to get you through the state exam only- then you are kinda on your own- sink or swim- other cos may have trainers on staff- to teach you about selling and counseling people on the uses of life insurance- for saving and retirement, like that- that is what you need- a co that will educate you and teach you about the ins business--not just help you get licensed and pass the state ins exam-- i am a retired independent ins broker, & a retired LUTCF, CFP, & CPA who spent 23 yrs helping people with life & health ins, and tax-deferred annuities and enjoyed my time very much helping others plan for their financial futures--good luck to you !! PS- in some states, like Tx, a co must sponsor you for the state ins exam-in other words they must hire you to be an agent for them and then help you pass the state exam to get started in your career--very important- check with the State Dept of Insurance in your state to see what the rules are to become a licensed ins agent--good luck to you !!

http://www.remax.com is good... but do some research to get what you want, so that it is more meaningful to you and your needs. Here is some design advice, I hope helps.\n\nCheck the big names and then include small local realtors in your area so that you can get an overall point of view on what the others are offering in their Website package, then decide if there is anything you can add to improve what you will be offering to your customers.\n\nWebdesign is not just what you think is pleaseing to look at, think also what the viewer/visitor will be viewing, versues what they want for content. \nA few quick ideas:\n\n1. Content, make it easy to find pertinate items that the visitor need to make the visit worth while, and they will return.\n\n2. Design, pleasing while stright forward. Easy to navigete. Also if you go high tech (flash), don't go overboard. And by all means look at what others have done. Then incorporate the best ideas and despose of the bad.\n\n3. Domain name. Think of an easy to find name, that is unique to your market. Then check for the availablity of the name in a Who's it listing. Link below will assist you in this.

Call an independent insurance agent specializing in commercial insurance. I like the indep. agents because they usually can shop among various companies for the best deal. At renewal time, make sure to quote the policy elsewhere as they can be lazy about that and it can cost you some big $$$ if you don't.\n\nMake sure you have a good written warranty on your product. It seems many people have no clue how to acclimate hardwood prior to installation and it is laughable when a builder tries to sell you a home with big gaps between the board ends. A real stoner was he.

You have to contact the State Corporation Commission in Texas (which will be in the state's capitol) or secretary of state to find out who their Registered Agent is.  Then you file the small claims against the company name, but use the registered agent as well on the small claims case document.  Then send it via certified mail to the registered agent.  if no registered agent, you can try sending the case via certified mail direct to the company, but I am not sure if TX law accepts service that way for a corp.

These are the policy forms that only TX offers. The HO-A is the standardized Texas policy and these policies provide extremely limited actual cash value coverage of your home and its contents. Only the types of damage specifically listed in the policy are covered.\n\nFrom what I understand, State Farm is the only insurer who writes the HO-W policy form, and I don't know too much about it as I write for a different insurer. The HO-W policy is marketed as the best policy they write, which offers greater coverage than the HO-A, and additional coverages (such as mold) can be increased via endorsements.\n\n"Probably the biggest difference is the level of coverage for water damage to your home and the circumstances that would allow water damage to be covered and not covered is often the biggest difference. Water damage to homes is an all too common occurrence and an expensive problem to fix. Many homeowners are learning the hard way that where they once had broad coverage for water damage now they may have hardly any coverage depending on the nature of how the water damage occurred. With this said, flood coverage is always excluded in coverage as so many victims of Rita and Katrina are learning."\n\nI would recommend discussing further with a licensed agent familiar with these forms who could counsel you on the coverages to decide which is best for you.
