Insurance Program Review & Renewal Marketing

A free second opinion on your program, then a competitive renewal marketed to the right carriers.

By Dan Wentz, commercial real estate insurance broker · Updated

Most insurance programs are never actually shopped.

The incumbent agent renews with the same carrier, the rate drifts a few points a year, and nobody reads the forms until there's a claim. A review changes that. We benchmark your pricing against where comparable risk is placing today, flag the exclusions and valuation problems that bite at claim time, and when you're ready, run a disciplined marketing process so carriers have to compete for the account. It costs nothing to look.

Who this is for

Coverage gap & valuation analysis

Structure & deductible review

Whether the program still fits the portfolio and the balance sheet, or just fits last year's renewal.

Competitive marketing (RFP)

A disciplined process that takes the account to the right carriers and makes them compete.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the review really free?

Yes. The review and the benchmark cost nothing and stay confidential. If we later market the account and you place coverage through us, we're compensated the way any broker is. There's no fee and no obligation attached to looking.

When should we start before renewal?

Ideally 90 to 120 days out. That's enough time to gather data, model the exposure, and market the account properly instead of begging carriers for extensions. We can move faster when a non-renewal forces the issue; we'd just rather not have to.

Will this disrupt our current agent relationship?

Not unless you want it to. Plenty of owners use the review purely as a benchmark. If we find material savings or better coverage, the decision and the timing stay yours.

Coverage described on this page is a general summary, not a quote, coverage recommendation, or offer of insurance. Requesting a quote doesn't bind coverage. Terms, exclusions, and availability vary by carrier, state, and property, and only the policy actually issued determines coverage. Insurance is placed through producers licensed in the state where the property is located.
