FAQs
Does your insurance quote include General Liability Insurance?
General Liability Insurance covers injuries or damage to the home at the time of inspection. If you put your foot through the ceiling during a home inspection, your General Liability insurance would cover that claim. On the other hand, E&O protects against alleged errors or omissions in the inspection process. For instance, if a client believes you missed a roof defect, that falls under professional liability.
EliteMGA’s coverage includes both professional liability and general liability, providing comprehensive protection for home inspectors.
Does your policy cover your past inspections?
All home inspector E & O policies are claims made. This means they cover claims only for inspections conducted during the policy period. In other words, if your policy starts on Jan 1, 2024, and is good through Dec 31, 2024, it will only cover claims arising from inspections performed during this period. To avoid gaps in coverage for past inspections, it’s crucial to ensure your policy includes coverage for all inspections performed before this timeframe – also known as prior acts coverage. This ensures protection against claims arising from inspections performed earlier.
Who handles your insurance company’s claims? Will the attorney they hire understand the home inspection industry, industry standards, licensing, etc.?
EliteMGA handles all claims internally and makes all claims decisions internally. It is led by attorney Joe Denneler, who has been successfully defending home inspections for over 25 years and is in the best position to navigate home inspection claims successfully.
Can you get a live person on the phone when you have a coverage question or are dealing with a potential claim?
You can at Elite! Whether you need a copy of your insurance certificate, upgrading limits or need some input on how to handle a client call back, the Elite team is available even by phone!
Having a claim is stressful. What help will your insurance company give you in the event you have a claim? Can you talk to an experienced attorney or claims adjuster for guidance?
For most insurance companies the answer is no. With EliteMGA the answer is yes! Elite offers an experienced team to ensure the best outcome for your business.
I got a quote from another insurance provider. Will Elite review the quote and coverage to make sure I am getting what I need?
Yes! We encourage inspectors to send us quotes and details for review.
I am currently insured by Elite. How do I get a discount?
Discounts will be applied when you renew your policy.
