High-premium niche
Coverage for Florida property owners, landlords, condos, and HOAs.
Habitational risk is high-premium and detail-heavy — insurance can run 25–35% of an association’s budget. Post-Surfside, the rules around milestone inspections and SIRS reserves changed the game. We place coastal and high-value property where generalists decline, and we read the wind and flood fine print line by line.

Florida requirements
What Florida actually requires
The specifics generalists miss — and we don’t.
- Wind/hurricane deductibles are usually a percentage of value — model the real out-of-pocket before you bind.
- Flood is separate from property — coastal and low-lying buildings need it.
- Condo/HOA boards need D&O for milestone-inspection and SIRS-related decisions.
- Coastal, vacant, and lessor’s-risk property often requires surplus-lines placement.
Questions, answered plainly
Property & Habitational insurance FAQs
Our condo association’s insurance budget keeps climbing. Can you actually help?
Often, yes — 2026 is softening, with the most condo-association writers in 15 years per Florida OIR. We market the full program, model the wind deductible against your reserves, and make sure SIRS and milestone-inspection findings don’t blindside the renewal.
Why do I need flood if I already have commercial property?
Standard commercial property excludes flood — full stop. In Florida that exclusion is the exposure. We place NFIP or private flood and compare the two for broader terms or higher limits.
What is lessor’s risk and do I need it?
If you own a building and lease it to other businesses, lessor’s risk (LRO) covers your liability as the landlord. It’s a niche many carriers shy away from — and one we place regularly.
