Kin's Products & Differentiators
Homeowners Insurance
When users visit Kin’s website, email its support staff, or call its hotline to obtain quotes on home, flood, hurricane, landlord, or mobile home insurance policies, they simply provide their home address, at which point Kin’s algorithms consider thousands of publicly available data points to assess their property. Then it offers a few suggested coverage recommendations, at which point the homeowner chooses the policy they want and arranges payment.
