This will be my 8 th year (2010) renewing my E&O and GL insurance with FREA. WHY?
1.) Easy to work with
2.) They always forward my renewal statements to the states I hold home inspector licensing in.
3.) FREA is always rated at the top on the industry
4.) They provide easy payment options if necessary
5.) And, once again for being a member in good standing with INACHI the GL coverage was free again this year for me.
Thanks! I hope to continue with no claims! Never even had a complaint.
Some Rock Hill SC agents are really afraid of me though, it seems many have never read a real inspection report until they saw one of mine. You might want to raise the E&O premium on agents who only refer clients to the less thorough inspectors.
The closest we come to insuring agents is the agent/broker referral indemnity (built in to your policy) that will provide some coverage for them in the event they get sued for referring you as an inspector.
I have a policy with them with all kinds of bells and whistles attached. I know I am paying a little more that some of the other quotes I have received in the past from other companies, but I know I am getting better service and more bang for my buck. Having a zero deductable and free general liability coverage is very nice compared to some of the other companies. I also have a 10k bond with them because I thought it would be good to have.
And FREA offers InterNACHI members free General Liability insurance: www.nachi.org/freegl.htm This is also an exclusive deal that no other inspectors get.
