Who Needs Real Estate Insurance Coverage?
Whether you’re an independent real estate agent, part of a brokerage, or managing a growing agency with multiple agents and transactions, dedicated insurance coverage helps protect your business.

Core Policies for Real Estate Agencies
Professional Liability (E&O)
Protects against claims related to professional services, such as errors in contracts, missed disclosures, or disputes arising from a transaction. This is essential coverage for real estate professionals, helping address financial losses tied to mistakes or omissions.
General Liability
Covers third-party bodily injury or property damage that may occur during business operations—for example, a client injured during a property showing or damage to a property while hosting an open house. Coverage can also include endorsements required by landlords or property managers.
Workers’ Compensation
Provides medical and wage benefits if an employee is injured while working. This may include office-related injuries or incidents that occur while showing properties or traveling for business purposes.
Commercial Auto
Protects vehicles used for business activities, including traveling between showings, client meetings, and office locations. Coverage may include liability, physical damage, and optional Hired & Non-Owned Auto coverage for personal vehicles used for business.
Cyber Liability & Data Protection
Real estate transactions involve sensitive client information, including financial and personal data. Cyber liability coverage helps protect against data breaches, wire fraud risks, and cyber-related incidents that can impact your business and clients.
