Reducing Costs of Homeownership: Insights with Thomas Tersigni

Let me tell you a little secret about the mortgage world: homeowners insurance can make or break your deals. If you’re not paying attention to it, you’re leaving money and opportunities on the table. I’ve seen it time and time again—loan officers plugging in outdated $100/month estimates for insurance, only to have quotes come back double or even triple that. Suddenly, you’ve got a DTI issue, and the deal’s on life support.

That’s where Go Savvy comes in. My friend Thomas Tersigni, COO of Go Savvy, shared how his platform is solving these challenges for loan officers, realtors, and even homeowners themselves. Let me walk you through how this works and why it’s such a big deal.

The Insurance Problem No One Talks About

We’ve all been there: a client gets prequalified, everything’s looking good, and then BAM—an insurance quote throws everything off. It’s not just the price; it’s the process. Loan officers and realtors spend days trying to chase down documents, deal with roof inspections, and fight through a mountain of red tape just to keep things moving.

Thomas explains it perfectly: the insurance world has gotten crazy over the last few years. Pricing between carriers can swing wildly depending on the day, state, or even the type of home. That’s why having a tool like Go Savvy is a no-brainer—it’s like having a pricing engine for insurance, saving you time, money, and your sanity.

So, What Exactly Is Go Savvy?

Go Savvy isn’t your typical insurance provider—it’s an insurance quoting platform designed to simplify and optimize the process. Think of it as a matchmaking service for insurance. Here’s how it works:

  1. Clients fill out a short, simple questionnaire.
  2. The platform scans quotes from over 20 carriers, including big names like Allstate, Liberty Mutual, and Progressive, as well as independents.
  3. In less than 24 hours, clients receive a curated list of quotes tailored to their needs and budget.

The best part? There are no endless phone calls or overwhelming comparisons. Clients can choose the best option and get on with their lives, while loan officers and realtors can move the deal forward without unnecessary delays.

 

 

How Go Savvy Saves Deals—and Time

The platform isn’t just about convenience—it’s about saving deals that might otherwise fall apart. Thomas shared examples of clients who received insurance quotes that were so high, they put the loan in jeopardy. With Go Savvy, they were able to find better rates, keep the DTI in check, and close the deal.

Even better, Go Savvy doesn’t just stop at homeowners insurance. If clients bundle auto insurance, they often save an additional $150 per month on average. That’s real money back in their pockets, making the entire home-buying process feel less stressful and more rewarding.

Why This Matters for Loan Officers and Realtors

For industry professionals, Go Savvy is more than a tool—it’s a differentiator. Offering a seamless insurance solution adds value for clients and strengthens relationships with realtors. Some loan officers are even using it as a selling point to gain referrals, showing realtors that they’re proactive and solution-oriented.

In a market where every edge counts, having a resource like Go Savvy in your corner isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

The world of homeowners insurance is evolving, and Go Savvy is leading the charge with technology that simplifies the process, saves money, and rescues deals. Whether you’re a loan officer, realtor, or homeowner, this platform offers a way to turn a potential headache into a streamlined, value-driven solution.
