What do I do when my home is damaged?
First, contact your insurance company about the damage. They will get the process started. Notify us as soon as you receive your insurance check. We will work with you to process the insurance claim check and release funds to you to complete repairs.
-
Why is Greater Nevada Mortgage listed on my insurance claim check?
We are invested in your house too and we want to get it back to normal ASAP.
-
Am I required to have a contractor complete the repairs to my property?
A contractor is not required to complete repairs.
-
How do I cash my insurance claim check?
Since the check is made payable to both you and Greater Nevada Mortgage, the check will need to be signed over to GNM. GNM is the mortgagee of your loan, and we are required to monitor the completion of the repairs. We will disburse funds to you as repairs milestones are completed. Checks can be deposited at a GNCU branch location, or can be mailed to us.
