Look for agents where high-risk properties make up at least 50% of their business. This ensures they have the focus and expertise you need.
"Which surplus lines carriers do you work with?"
Specialists should have relationships with multiple surplus lines carriers and be able to explain when each might be appropriate.
"How do you handle properties with claims history?"
The right specialist will have specific strategies for presenting properties with claims history and know which carriers are more flexible.
"Can you help improve my property's insurability?"
Good specialists provide guidance on property improvements and risk mitigation that can improve coverage options and reduce costs.
