Do I get a refund if I cancel my SageSure homeowners insurance?

Yes. SageSure refunds the **unearned (unused) portion** of your premium from the effective cancellation date. Because most policies are paid a year in advance (often via escrow), you're typically owed a pro-rata refund for the remaining term. Refunds are generally processed in about 15 days, but reviewers report waiting weeks to months and having to chase the check. Provide a current mailing address so the refund reaches you, especially if you're moving.

I cancelled but they still billed my escrow, what do I do?

This is a recurring complaint. Even with a cancellation confirmation, some customers were billed through their mortgage escrow and initially refused a refund. Send SageSure your cancellation confirmation, demand the erroneous charge be refunded, and copy your mortgage servicer so escrow is corrected. If SageSure doesn't resolve it, file a complaint with the **BBB** and your **state Department of Insurance**, public complaints tend to prompt SageSure's Customer Satisfaction team to reach out.

Is there a cancellation fee for SageSure?

There's no advertised flat cancellation fee. Instead, the cost is the premium SageSure considers **earned** for the coverage period before your cancellation date, which is deducted from your refund. Because they only backdate ~30 days, the main risk is losing premium for a coverage window you believe you didn't need. Cancel in writing with the earliest justifiable effective date and documentary proof to minimize what they retain.

How long does a SageSure refund take?

SageSure's practice is to process unearned-premium refunds fairly promptly, often within about **15 days**, and some states legally require it (Texas mandates residential-property refunds within 15 business days). In reality, experiences vary widely: some customers received refunds quickly, while others reported over two and a half months of delays and being told the check was 'in the mail.' If yours is late, email service@sagesure.com and cite your state's prompt-refund rule.

What if SageSure ignores my cancellation or refund request?

Escalate in tiers. First email **service@sagesure.com** or the Customer Care line SageSure publishes in review replies, referencing your written cancellation. If that stalls, file with the **BBB** (SageSure's Customer Satisfaction team monitors and responds to public complaints) and your **state Department of Insurance**, which can compel a refund. Keep every dated written request and confirmation, documentation is what gets stuck refunds released.

Should I cancel or just switch carriers?

If you're only cancelling because of a rate hike, line up and pay for a replacement policy **before** cancelling to avoid a coverage lapse, and confirm any new inspection contingency has cleared. Then send SageSure written cancellation dated to your new policy's start; many insurers, including SageSure, will backdate to that date so you're refunded the overlap. Notify your mortgage lender so escrow is redirected to the new carrier.

The short answer

SageSure lets you cancel a policy at any time by giving written notice of the date you want cancellation to take effect. When you cancel, they refund the unearned (unused) portion of your premium calculated from the effective cancellation date. As a courtesy they'll backdate a cancellation up to 30 days before your request, but generally not further, so any period they consider 'coverage in force' is treated as earned premium. Refund checks are typically processed within around 15 days, though multiple customers report waiting weeks or months and needing to chase.
