"Hello, my name is Vic Schumacher with HPE Financial Services. I'm an insurance broker representing a variety of insurance companies. Today we're going to talk about how mortgage insurance works. Mortgage insurance functions the same way as any particular insurance policy works. Whether it's for the mortgage or whether it's for your auto or whether it's for your life or whether it's for your health. Insurance itself replaces the unknown with security, gives you peace of mind. So if you have a home, and you have a mortgage, then what you could do is buy an insurance policy. That policy would pay off the mortgage in the event something were to happen to you, and you can no longer make those payments. That insurance policy itself, that mortgage insurance policy, those premiums are paid directly to the insurance company, and their real estate agents or brokers can help you line that up. Or you can go out on your own and find it by yourself. If you've got a hundred thousand dollar mortgage, you would want the policy to cover that hundred thousand dollar premium itself. That's how mortgage insurance works, my name is Vic Schumacher, company is HPE Financial Services, helping people every day."
