Hi all! We are having a couple of issues with our personal lines markets in NY & NJ. 1. Monoline homes: Most carriers we write with will not write the Home without the Auto. This is a bigger problem in NJ than in NY, but still a hurdle we need to overcome in both states when we have to compete against Geico's auto pricing. Who are you all placing your monoline homes with? 2. High Valued Homes: Most of our carriers will not write a home with a dwelling limit higher than $1.2M and most high value home carriers want homes starting around $2M. Chubb can write the homes in between, however their pricing is much higher than the direct writers we come up against. Where are you all placing these homes? 3. Marketing: What type of marketing do you all do? We have a great website and Facebook page, however we do not see a lot of new business come our way via these channels. Have you had success with local commercials, mailings, diner placemat advertising, etc.? I look forward to reading all of your comments.

So here's the deal. I have a bookkeeping & tax business, and I am also fully licensed in Idaho (Life/Health and Property/Casualty) and I have an fully licensed agency in Idaho. I am really busy with the accounting portion of my business, but I currently have requests for quotes for commercial auto, business owners and commercial liability waiting to be quoted. But with my other workload, I just haven't had time to jump on anything. I don't want to lose them completely, but I just am pushing the limits on my time. So I am looking for someone that I can get to quote and write the policies, but I would like to still be compensated. I would service the accounts, because they would be bookkeeping and tax clients as well and I would be the "trusted adviser". Is there someone out there who can help me? With the bookkeeping business, I am constantly getting requests for commercial coverage for new and/or small businesses. But I don't have time to put all of the paperwork together and deal with back and forth to get it placed. I'd gladly give up the majority of the commission to keep my clients happy. And I really would like to run any commissions under my agency, if possible. So basically I make the initial contact, your company actually writes the policy doing all of the footwork on the back end and keep a sizable piece of the commission. And then I will be the contact for the client for any service needs. I'd love to hear any thoughts on the whole idea. A. Brian Cogan
