Hi I am looking to see who has good recommendations for markets that are broker friendly for Real Estate E&O. I have wrote Genstar through Landry (VIA Wholesaler).
Also anybody know about transaction based E&O in California, does it exist, is a good alternative?
Thanks,
Anthony

Re: Real Estate E&O Insurance in CA
What is your definition of "transaction based?"
Specifically, what is your client: a RE broker, RE agent, mortgage broker, mortgage banker, title agent, etc.??
This is one area where it pays to be very specific in your description of risk/exposure.
Frankly, the GenStar program is good but it is onerus and an administrative pain in the neck. One thing that has always bothered me about it is if you have a builder who sets up a real estate pup to sell their own properties you have no coverage. Now, I don't know how that plays in, say, Iowa but in CA its can be a killer.

try Century Surety through their MGA the Norman-Spencer Agency (937) 432-1600. They are easy to work with and the policy can be endorsed to provide coverage for RE firms that list/sell homes constructed-developed by a wholly owned subsidiary of the RE firm.
