FAQ

Questions agents ask most.

You issue policies directly under issuing authority. A risk is bound when the policy is issued in the rating system, not when the quote is generated.

No. Along with this, prior losses may also be considered and no prior insurance is required to qualify. A lapse in coverage is referred to underwriting rather than declined outright.

Before quoting, we recommend you start with the coverage basis. Homeowners Core is an HO3 on replacement cost for the owner-occupied home. Dwelling Essentials is a DP1 on actual cash value for rental, seasonal, secondary, vacant, and manufactured risk. When a risk qualifies for both, the admitted program is the default.

Trust, LLC, and estate ownership are handled by referral on the admitted program and are eligible on the dwelling side when written for landlord rental purposes. Send the risk and underwriting will confirm.

Usually, yes. If the decline came from one factor, roof age, a prior claim, an ownership entity, a vacancy, that is exactly the file we work. Structural problems like active hazards, open claims, and poor condition still require underwriting review and may not be acceptable with our programs.

Credentials are issued when your contract is finalized. If you have been contracted and cannot log in, a member of our team can assist.

The Wholesale Division places commercial, professional, and personal lines in all 50 states. Use a quick quote market where one fits the class, or send the submission to the desk.

Payment routing depends on the company named on the declarations page, and the payments page walks a policyholder through it. Claims start with you or the policyholder through the claims page.

Instant. Quoted, issued, and delivered by email from the portal.
