What Real Estate Insurance Covers

Commercial General Liability

Commercial General Liability

CGL, or commercial general liability, is the most common form of liability protection for businesses. This protection ensures you are covered in the event that a patron visiting your business property should injure themselves and sue you for the damages. These policies are designed to protect you for any ensuing lawsuit expenses, settlement fees, and so on.

Property Insurance

Property Insurance

Optional commercial property insurance covers any physical building that your company operates out of, whether that’s a leased office space or a full-scale, multi-story building. Insurable perils include fire, natural disasters, theft, vandalism, and (location-depending) options flooding and earthquake insurance.

Interruptions

Interruptions

You may choose to include business interruption insurance in with your real estate insurance policy; this coverage protects you from any ongoing expenses and loss of revenue during a period of downtime as a result of an insurable loss, like a fire. Due to the mass amount of costs that can come with an unexpected closure, many businesses cannot afford to reopen following a loss without coverage like business interruption.

Liability Insurance for Real Estate Agents: FAQs

A: In many cases, or depending on where you live, you may be required as a real estate agent to carry insurance. Because real estate agents offer advice, they may need to provide proof of professional liability insurance before they can take on any clients. Even if insurance is not required where you are, it is still highly recommended to protect your business’ bottom line.

A: Errors and omissions insurance, also known as professional liability insurance, covers businesses from claims of misinformation, negligence, or omitting crucial information resulting in financial or asset loss. If a client sues you as a result of a perceived error or omission in the service you provide, the lawsuit costs can be astronomical - even if you did nothing wrong. Errors and omissions insurance can cover any costs related to a lawsuit.

A: Errors and omissions insurance does not have an average cost or a single price tag but, instead, is calculated based on your business. How large is your real estate company? What is your projected annual revenue? How much experience do you have in the industry? Insurance history, staff team, and how many clients visit you daily will all be calculated into your premiums.

A: It depends! Every business needs a different amount of coverage depending on the risks they face, and every real estate company works differently. If you have a physical property, use equipment daily, have a large team of staff, etc. - will all be impacting factors on the amount of coverage you require. If you need any advice on what coverage is best for your business, discuss with an LMBF commercial insurance broker.

A: If your business uses equipment to perform daily tasks, you may benefit from adding equipment breakdown insurance to your policy. Commercial property insurance includes coverage for the contents of your building but it may be limited, thus the necessity for additional coverage. Equipment breakdown may include coverage for machinery, boilers, and other tools.

A: Although you can find affordable options for real estate insurance with LMBF, we would never advise that you opt for the “cheapest” policy. Instead, we help you find comprehensive real estate insurance that fits within your budget without needing to slash critical coverage.
