How to Select the Right Real Estate Errors & Omissions Coverage

Choosing a Real Estate Errors and Omissions (E&O) policy means choosing a partner dedicated to safeguarding your business’s future by providing coverage for the unique risks you face in your daily operations. While some providers offer a generic E&O policy applicable to various industries, these often lack coverage tailored to the distinct risks your business encounters. Typically, investing in an E&O policy does not yield any financial return unless you file a claim. However, this is not the case with IronPointREO, as will be discussed further. Professionals in real estate, appraisal, escrow, mortgage, property management, and transaction coordination should expect more. Here are the essential factors to consider when selecting an E&O policy that is genuinely designed to protect your business.

The IronPointREO program, along with ClaimShield^TM, assists real estate professionals in preventing potential issues from escalating into claims, thereby protecting their business’s reputation and saving substantial amounts in legal defense costs.

IronPointREO collaborates closely with our underwriting partner, and our insurance company boasts an A-rating from A.M. Best. This rating reflects a comprehensive assessment of financial stability, operational performance, and business strategy. With A-rated insurance carriers, you can have confidence in their financial robustness, ensuring your coverage remains secure without the fear of your insurer suddenly going out of business.

IronPointREO serves as the managing general agency, overseeing its underwriting processes and the approval of IronPointREO policies, in addition to providing continuous policy support whenever required.

Should our program not perfectly align with your business needs, we maintain partnerships with esteemed insurance carriers such as Travelers, The Hartford, Nationwide, and Liberty Mutual. This grants us access to exclusive insurance programs and carriers that are beyond the reach of other agents.

Certain industries stand out due to their distinctive characteristics, engagement in unique risk-bearing activities, and the need for specialized insurance protection. The real estate sector is a prime example of such an industry. A general Errors & Omissions (E&O) policy is insufficient for safeguarding your business in this field.

When a company focuses exclusively on real estate E&O, it contributes essential insight into the specific risks your business faces, influencing the creation of your E&O policy. This specialization can be the key to preventing claims and ensuring thorough coverage, rather than leaving your business vulnerably exposed.

IronPointREO dedicates itself solely to Real Estate E&O and has done so for over 14 years. Our daily mission is to protect real estate licensees, firms, and other industry professionals, including appraisers, escrow companies, mortgage brokers, property management companies, and transaction coordinators.
