High Value homes in brush

Any recomendations? I sometimes get replacement cost on homes over 1.5 million. Most carriers will not take this type of risk especially in a brush area. What are the best companies to go with?

It can be a problem. That's why the insurance gods made the non admitted market. Lexington and lloyds and companies like that are your friends. It may not be pretty and it may not be as easy as accessing direct appointed carriers, but it does work. Find yourself a good MGA dealing with personal lines and high value homes and start filling out the Acord forms. You won't win every quote and there will be some unscrupulous direct writers who will lie to place business, but you'll get your share.

Agree with D's... I have been using hull for access to those markets but I know other GAs have access as well.

Anderson & Murison has established great relationships with our non-admitted markets to help place coverage for high value and brush exposed properties. Please feel free to contact me to discuss this particular risk or send me an Acord 80 and I will take care of the rest.

Good info, I just lost a wonderful opportunity involving PC 10 primary house value 800k, 10 auto, 6 motorcycle, lake-house and boat opportunity because of this hangup. shopped it through multiple markets currently with Farmers. Liberty Mutual gave it a indication quote but no underwriting approval. Allied took it up the chain of command (took two weeks) and came back with a No answer. One lesson I took from this experience is that its good for the guys that have high value houses in PC 10 to have hard wired alarm , I say this because two of the carriers would have considered if this was a feature.
