5 Times the Coverage Per Claim – 8 to 100 Times the Protection in These Key Areas

Plus you’ll gain more listings and boost commissions by adding Seller’s E&O — invest just an additional $5. Your first additional listing will pay for your entire year’s Iowa E&O!

• Get 5 times the individual claim coverage to $500,000 (over the state program)! Plus $400,000 MORE coverage than the state program for all claims for the year.  (This same $500,000 coverage costs $164 more with the state program!)
• Plus Legal Advisory Services 7 days a week to address issues and help prevent them from turning into claims and lawsuits.  Get a guaranteed response within 4 hours or by next business day, with recommendations confirmed in writing!
• Lock Box Property Damage to your policy limit (the state covers $5k per claim) – that’s 100 times the coverage!
• $100,000 (or most recent sales price, whichever is less) in Pollution/Environmental/Mold coverage — the state doesn’t even include this, yet claims for mold are rising.
• $50,000 Cyber coverage for client notification costs due to a data/security  breach (the state covers only $5k). Individual agents are being targeted by hackers and scammers, and we want you to be protected.
• $30,000 in Subpoena coverage – versus $2.5k per incident – 12 times the coverage!

• Agent-Owned Property coverage for SFRs up to fourplex – versus only your primary residence.
• Conformity Endorsement coverage – if you are a Iowa resident, this endorsement amends your Iowa policy to conform to E&O requirements of other states where you hold a valid real estate license.
• PLUS, our Iowa policies have ALWAYS included Firm and Franchise coverage, Prior Acts coverage for as long as you’ve maintained continuous E&O coverage, and coverage for ALL activities that require a license.
