Is there a such thing? I understand being named as mortgagee and loss payee, but people, especially banks are beginning to ask for AI status on property policies. Huh? Also, the acord 27 does have a box to check for additional insured which makes them even more adamant.

Thank you

You are wonderful wonderful wonderful. That's what I figured but I wasn't sure. I used the numbers my AE had in a spreadsheet and worked the math and that's the logic I came up with, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't a coincidence that it worked that way.

Yes, you helped me so much.

I think maybe because some of us aren't good at sales. Now if you are good at sales, then your question is valid.

Hi all, Love this site. Okay, this may be a silly question, but keep in mind that I am fairly new to the brokerage side of the business. I have been promoted to a junior account manager which is essentially a transitioning phase to prepare me for an account manager position. Problem is, I am confuse...
