Home, Renters, and Landlord Insurance

Your home is where life happens. It’s where coffee gets spilled, pets claim the couch, kids test gravity, and mysterious noises appear at 2 a.m. Naturally, it deserves protection that goes beyond crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.


At Bates Insurance Group in Covington, GA, we’ve been helping homeowners, renters, and landlords across Georgia and South Carolina protect their spaces since the 1970s. That’s decades of experience, thousands of policies, and a whole lot of “we’ve seen this before.”


We’re a full-service insurance agency, which means we don’t just sell you a policy and vanish. We help you understand your coverage, compare options, and find the best rates without the usual insurance headaches. And yes, we offer free insurance quotes, because that should be the standard, not a perk.

Home Insurance Coverage That Protects More Than Just the Walls

Home insurance isn’t just about your house. It’s about everything inside it and everything that happens around it. From weather surprises to accidental mishaps, a good homeowners insurance policy helps keep life from completely falling apart when things go sideways.


We help homeowners in Georgia and South Carolina find coverage that fits their home, lifestyle, and budget. Whether your house is brand-new, well-loved, or “has character,” we’ll help you protect it without overdoing it.

Common Homeowners Insurance Coverage Options Include:

Dwelling Coverage

Protects the structure of your home.

Covers your belongings (yes, even that expensive TV).

Liability Coverage 

Helps if someone gets injured on your property.

Helps pay for living expenses if your home becomes unlivable.

Other Structures Coverage

For sheds, fences, garages, and that one project you’ll finish someday.

We explain what’s included, what’s optional, and what actually makes sense; no guessing required.

Renters Insurance That Proves Your Stuff Is Worth Protecting

Renting doesn’t mean living dangerously. Just because you don’t own the building doesn’t mean your stuff is disposable.


Our renters' insurance policies help protect your personal belongings from theft, fire, and other unexpected events. Plus, renters insurance includes liability coverage, which can come in handy if someone slips, trips, or discovers gravity in your apartment.


The best part? Renters insurance is surprisingly affordable, often costing less per month than your streaming subscriptions. And unlike your favorite show, this coverage actually helps when things go wrong.

Landlord Insurance for Property Owners Who Like Sleeping at Night

Owning rental property can be a great investment, but it comes with responsibilities (and risks). Our landlord insurance policies are designed to protect rental homes, condos, and investment properties across Georgia and South Carolina.


Landlord insurance typically covers the structure, liability, and loss of rental income due to covered events. It’s peace of mind for property owners who want protection without micromanaging every possible scenario.


Because “I hope nothing happens” is not a strategy.

Home Insurance That Keeps Up With Southern Living

Living in Georgia and South Carolina comes with plenty of perks, sunshine, charm, and sweet tea, but it also comes with unique insurance considerations. From storms and wind to unexpected water damage, we help homeowners prepare for the realities of Southern living.


Our job is to help you understand what your policy covers, what it doesn’t, and where adjustments might help. No scare tactics. No pressure. Just clear, honest guidance.

A Full-Service Insurance Agency That Actually Explains Things

We’ve been around since the 1970s, which means we’ve watched insurance evolve, and we’ve learned how to keep things simple along the way. At Bates Insurance Group, we handle everything from quoting and coverage reviews to policy changes and questions. We believe insurance should feel helpful, not intimidating.

Home Insurance Without the Panic or Pressure

You shouldn’t need a dictionary or a stiff drink to understand your insurance policy. That’s why we focus on education, transparency, and a little humor to keep things light.


Whether you’re buying your first home, renting your tenth apartment, or managing rental properties, we’ll help you make informed decisions without overwhelming you.


We’ll even review your existing policy to see if it still fits your life. Spoiler alert: life changes, and insurance should keep up.
