Specialized expertise to help MGAs with property insurance renewals
The property insurance landscape is only becoming more competitive, which makes it more important than ever for brokers and managing general agents (MGAs) to differentiate themselves. Assisting clients with property appraisal services helps protect your hard-earned book of business while enhancing these client relationships.
A consistent property appraisal program ensures the right data is available at the time of insurance renewals. It also reduces the underwriter time spent on building valuation and data review, streamlines the appraisal quotation process, and provides vested parties with uniform reporting.
It’s relatively common for MGAs to step in and take ownership of this task for clients as a value-add service. Because property appraisal programs are highly specialized, most MGAs choose to outsource the development of that program to an experienced insurance appraisal provider like CBIZ Valuation, which as has the expertise and resources to meet underwriting requirements.
