Broker submission

Four steps from clean submission to bound policy.

  1. 1

    Submit clean SOV and loss runs

    Send a current statement of values and 5 years of loss runs valued within 60 days. We confirm appetite within 48 hours.

  2. 2

    Underwriting review

    A REIT underwriter is assigned to the file and works with you on COPE, valuation, occupancy and engineering questions.

  3. 3

    Indication then firm quote

    We share a non-binding indication, then issue firm terms once outstanding information is in.

  4. 4

    Bind and onboard

    We bind, issue policy documents and certificates, and align future renewal data calls to your portfolio cycle.

Include in your submission

  • Statement of values with COPE
  • Five year loss runs (insurer reports preferred)
  • Schedule of locations with addresses and occupancy
  • Engineering or appraisal reports if available
  • Existing policy wording and current premium
  • Acquisition or disposition pipeline (12 months)

Broker FAQ

Do you write single asset placements?

Generally no. We focus on schedules of 10 or more locations or TIV above $50M so the portfolio analytics actually pay off for the broker.

Can you coordinate with our existing umbrella market?

Yes. We can sit primary or excess in an existing tower and we are comfortable working alongside other markets.

Do you offer mid-term changes for acquisitions?

Yes. We pre-agree acquisition clauses so new locations are picked up automatically up to a defined threshold.
