What makes CRES different from other E&O providers? Others want to hear from you when you have a claim while CRES wants to hear from you when you think you have a claim.
CRES' Risk Management attorneys are here to assist you in resolving issues before they become problems. That means calling when there is a problem during escrow (ex. Having a buyer who will not perform). Our Risk Management attorneys are also available to review documents or assist you in writing letters on your behalf. Before the close of escrow, the Risk Management team will manage your risk, minimize it, and hopefully eliminate it before it becomes a claim. However, after the escrow has closed, they can only mitigate your risk.
Many people believe that a phone call in to CRES' StressLess Risk Management Hotline is simply a tool for the insurance company to find out about your situations and charge you more money at renewal. Actually, it is quite to the contrary. Calling the hotline could save you thousands of dollars if we can resolve the situation before it becomes a claim. More importantly, if the situation gets resolved before it turns into a claim, the incident will not show up on your company's loss history. Keeping these incidences from becoming claims and therefore keeping them off of your loss run will give you a better chance at securing preferred E&O rates in the future. We are here to help you control your company's future!
