Commercial Property & Casualty

Coverage that doesn't kill the deal.

We read your policy against the asset and the loan documents, place it in the market that fits the risk, and get the binder to escrow on time. Property, liability, builder's risk, executive, and specialty lines.

Lines we place

What a commercial program is made of.

Most commercial insurance problems are structural rather than pricing problems — the wrong valuation basis, a coinsurance clause nobody modelled, or a liability tower that stops short.

Diligence

The commercial checklist.

What we check on every commercial file

  • Replacement cost versus actual cash value — and which one the loan requires
  • Coinsurance percentage against a current statement of values
  • Business income limits and the period of restoration actually needed
  • Named-insured and additional-insured language matching the ownership entity
  • Lender endorsements: mortgagee clause, loss payee, notice of cancellation
  • Catastrophe deductibles — wildfire, wind, quake — stated in dollars, not percentages
  • The liability tower from primary through umbrella, with no gap between layers

Where commercial programs break

  • A statement of values that has not been updated since acquisition
  • Business income written on a 12-month period when the rebuild would take longer
  • The wrong entity named, so the claim is paid to someone who no longer owns the asset
  • Vacancy provisions triggered during a renovation nobody disclosed
  • Builder's risk that ended at substantial completion, before occupancy actually started
  • Percentage catastrophe deductibles that are far larger than the owner assumed
  • An umbrella that does not follow form over the primary it sits above

FAQ

Common questions.

01

What kinds of commercial property do you write?

Apartments and multifamily, retail and mixed-use, office, light industrial and warehouse, hospitality, and properties under construction or renovation. We also write the operating businesses inside them — general liability, workers' compensation, commercial auto, and executive lines.

02

My lender has insurance requirements I do not understand. Can you read them?

Yes, and you should send them before you buy anything. Lender requirements are usually a short list of limits, endorsements, and named-insured language. The expensive mistake is satisfying them by buying a bigger policy when the correct fix is adding a specific endorsement to the one you already have.

03

Can you bind fast enough for a closing?

Yes. Send the address, the purchase price or rebuild value, and the closing date. We coordinate the binder and the evidence of insurance directly with the lender and escrow so coverage is not the item holding up a funding.

04

What is coinsurance and why does it keep coming up?

Coinsurance is a clause requiring you to insure to a stated percentage of replacement value — often 80, 90, or 100 percent. If you are under that when a loss occurs, the carrier reduces the payout proportionally, including on partial losses. It is the most common way an owner discovers their limit was too low, and it is entirely avoidable at placement.

05

Do you place excess and surplus lines?

Yes, when the risk will not fit a standard admitted form — heavy catastrophe exposure, an unusual occupancy, a difficult loss history, or vacant property. E&S carriers are not backed by the state guaranty fund, so we tell you plainly when a quote is E&S and what that means before you bind.
