Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program works best for community associations that are fully developed and operational — active construction or new development is not eligible. Preferred accounts have:
- Stable financial histories and established reserves
- Active board governance and documented risk management practices
- Routine maintenance programs for common areas and building systems
Accounts with recent or significant claims, ongoing construction exposure, or locations in extreme catastrophe zones may require additional review and could be declined or placed in surplus markets.
Example fits for the program:
- A gated townhome community seeking to consolidate building and general liability coverages into a single package.
- A mid-rise condominium association that needs replacement-cost property coverage, business income, and an umbrella for director/officer liability exposures (placed separately as needed).
